The Blue Note Jazz Club has officially released the full artist lineup for its 2024 Blue Note Jazz Festival, returning from June 1 to July 7 to five high-profile venues around New York City. The festival’s 13th annual iteration will be led by Andra Day and the great Wynton Marsalis, who top a bill featuring 37 figureheads from the worlds of jazz, soul, hip-hop, MPB, funk, alt-rock, folk and everything in between. The wide majority of the artists featured will perform multiple times throughout the series, amounting to a total of 59 concerts.

The festivities will begin at the dawn of the dog days with a June 1 performance from Soulive, the renowned trio of Eric Krasno, Alan Evans and Neal Evans, who will take the stage for the first time since 2023’s Newport Jazz Festival with eight nights at Blue Note; this return to the stage aligns with the group’s enigmatic announcement of Cinematics, Vol. 2, the group’s first studio offering since 2018, which has yet to receive a release date. The month to follow will be highlighted by a vast array of high-profile artists and special collaborations, including The Music of Buena Vista Social Club, Jazz is Dead, Brandee Younger, Yo La Tengo with the Sun Ra Arkestra, Victor Wooten, Ghostface Killah with The Soul Rebels, Fred Wesley with the Brecker Brothers, Stanley Clarke, Gino Vanelli, Os Mutantes and more. These concerts will take place at Blue Note, Sony Hall, SummerStage in Central Park, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Town Hall and Brooklyn Bowl.

“This year, Blue Note Jazz Festival is focused on spotlighting diverse global cultures in a range of venues throughout New York City, including artists from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Niger, Brazil and beyond,” Blue Note Director of Programming Alex Kurland shares on this year’s curational impulse. “The lineup features iconic and legendary artists that have made a tremendous impact in music and on generations of artists, including Wynton Marsalis, Stanley Clarke, Fred Wesley and hip-hop icon Ghostface Killah. The lineup is complemented by a wave of progressive and contemporary artists ranging from Ezra Collective, Yussef Dayes and Julius Rodriguez. We’re also focused on spotlighting powerful and impactful female voices including Andra Day, Corinne Bailey Rae and Lisa Fischer to name a few.”
