HUDSON, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Hudson Hall has announced its 2023 Hudson Jazz Festival with theme, The Shape of Jazz Today. The festival will take place from February 16 through February 26.
Curator Cat Henery comments, “The Shape of Jazz To Come” caused a stir in 1959 for its inventiveness, jazz fans have grown to appreciate the enormous breadth of jazz expression. Today, performances draw as much from A Tribe Called Quest or Radiohead as they do Coltrane, Ellington, or Monk. Showcasing this unlimited color palette of rhythm and tone, the festival provides an exciting glimpse of where we are today…and yes, what’s to come.”
