The group of acclaimed artists added to this year’s lineup include musical duo DOMi & JD Beck, jazz-rap artist Sen Morimoto, world-renowned tap artist Michela Marino Lerman, NYC-based collective Freelance, NYC-based composer, improviser, bandleader, teacher and player of multiple woodwinds Avram Fefer Quartet, American pianist, drummer and composer Julius Rodriguez, trombonist, composer and educator Kalia Vandever Quartet, spell-binding jazz-world ensemble AJOYO, featuring saxophonist Yacine Boulares and musician, composer and producer Keyanna presents “Nameless and Endless.”
These artists join a stellar lineup of previously announced artists including renowned vocalist Lizz Wright, experimental Jazz musician José James performing the music of Erykah Badu, avant-garde jazz music artist HERA Led by Chelsea Baratz, Trumpet sensation Maurice “Mobetta” Brown, vocalists Angel Bat Dawid & Viktor le Givens, award-winning tuba player and composer Theon Cross, multi-instrumentalist Matthew Whitaker, Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based vibraphonist Joel Ross, Singer, composer, pianist, Afro Cuban dancer, actress, and educator Melvis Santa. This year’s lineup is co-curated by performer Maurice Brown along with BRIC Producer Viviana Benitez and NYC Winter JazzFest Founder Brice Rosenbloom.
As one of BRIC’s premiere performing arts programs, BRIC JazzFest aims to bring together jazz world legends, rising stars, and emerging musical geniuses who are pushing the boundaries of the jazz genre, some through the lens and influence of hip hop and others through a musical style all of their own. The 2022 festival will mark the first BRIC JazzFest since the public reopening of BRIC House. The acclaimed marathon Jazz festival will take place across two stages.
Wes Jackson, BRIC President, said today:
“BRIC JazzFest is a special experience, where we build a stage in the middle of our fall Contemporary Art gallery show, open up the doors of our ballroom, and welcome people into our cultural home for three nights of nonstop music. It’s an immersive display of emerging and established talent that brings all of the different parts of BRIC together. I couldn’t be more thrilled for this year’s BRIC JazzFest, and to welcome you back into BRIC House for the first time since our public reopening.”
