Don't miss a day of swinging music at the 4th Annual Montclair Jazz Festival hosted by WBGO's Gary Walker. Produced by Jazz House Kids under the direction of jazz vocalist & recording artist Melissa Walker and with creative direction from bass virtuoso Christian McBride, the Montclair Jazz Festival features world-class artistry in a family-friendly environment. Musicians perform in the idyllic 17-acre Nishuane Park. Bring lawn chairs (fishing or sand chairs please) or blankets. You can bring picnic baskets, but food vendors are there for tasty options.
