2016 Atlanta Jazz Festival Line-Up Announced

Music Lineup Announced for the 2016 Atlanta Jazz Festival

Featuring Latin, Creole, Straight-Ahead and Hip-Hop Inspired Artists 

GREGORY PORTER

“We are excited about the lineup for this year’s Atlanta Jazz Festival,” says Camille Russell Love, Executive Director of the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. “As our city becomes more international and our population younger, we are booking the festival to welcome these new audiences.  From the soulful groove of Gregory Porter, the hip-hop inspired brass of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and the sensuous stylings of Brazilian songstress Eliane Elias, we’ve got a wide variety of jazz flavors on three stages. And admission is free! Make plans now to join us for the 39^th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park over Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29.”
