A look at one of the early Jazz Festivals of 2025

Set to begin January 9th-15th, this year's NYC Jazz Festival features some of the best and innovative musicians in the genre. Taking place in various venues throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, stalwarts like Christian McBride and Terri Lynne Carrington are sure to put on must-see performances, while Jazz-bending artists like Keifer, Stefon Harris & Makaya McKraven infuse soulful-hip-hop melodies into their sounds. The Jazz scene in New York City is growing while remaining a hub for its rich history of Jazz, and this year's NYC Jazz Festival is set to become another footnote in the New York City jazz scene.
