Celebrate Juneteenth with a rousing tribute to musical giants like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Mahalia Jackson at Adler Hall. On June 21 from 7pm to 9pm, top-tier jazz artists will unite with the MOTI Reentry Dream Band—a talented ensemble of formerly incarcerated musicians, led by guitarist David O’Rourke with Jonathan Finkelman, Jeff and Jennie Angell, Charles Walker, Patrick Morgan and Dawud Rahman—for a soul-stirring Juneteenth Jazz Jubilee, hosted by the New York Society for Ethical Culture.
"Expect spirited blues harmonica, fiery tenor sax, smooth vocals, and masterful guitar and bass—played by musicians who’ve turned adversity into artistry," organizers promise.
