NEA Jazz Master Charles Lloyd brings a lifetime of artistry shaped since the early 1960s. Named a Chevalier of France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and honored as DownBeat’s Jazzman of the Year in 1967, he was also recognized as 2023 Artist of the Year for recent work that underscores his enduring influence. Rather than revisit the past, he continues to push ahead with refined focus and depth of expression. Tickets are available through member and local presales, followed by a public onsale.

New Jersey Performing Arts Center presents an 80th birthday celebration for Ben Vereen, recognizing his enduring contributions to Broadway as an actor, dancer, and singer. Vereen appears alongside friends Shoshana Bean, Stephanie Pope, Melba Moore, and Lillias White in a heartfelt salute to his milestone.

Dorthaan's Place is a jazz brunch series at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, curated by Dorthaan Kirk, known as Newark's First Lady of Jazz. Nico's brunch menu is served alongside a live set from trumpeter Wallace Roney Jr. and his quartet, Gangway, a New York ensemble on the rise. The music balances deep-rooted jazz tradition with exploratory improvisation, drawing inspiration from innovators such as Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman.

This event features live blues music at Great Notch Inn.
