The Richmond Jazz Festival at Maymont is in its 6th year and it just keeps getting hotter! Local and international jazz artists grace the stage for the three-day long festival. The event kicked off Friday, August 7th at the historic Hippodrome Theater in Jackson Ward, with a festive crowd “second lining” down Broad Street, led by the St. Paul’s men’s choir and New Orleans’ Rebirth Brass Band. The festival moved into the 100-acre public park, Maymont, on Saturday for the duration of the festival.
I made the event a combination of work and play– some of my very favorite artists were headlining this year’s festival:
Anthony Hamilton threw it up and took it all of the way down at the Richmond Jazz Festival on Sunday evening.
New Edition kicked it old-school on Saturday night.
