Napa Valley – The second annual Blue Note Jazz Festival Napa, a euphoric celebration of music, culture, and camaraderie, recently concluded with 43 scheduled concerts on three stages and just as many drop the mic, impromptu moments by performing and guest artists.
The main stage was ignited each night by Artist in Residence Robert Glasper’s jazz-fused music and host Dave Chappelle’s hilarious wit, setting the larger stage of appreciation for the arts and culture. NBA champion and wine entrepreneur Dwyane Wade served as the festival’s Director of Culture and Vibes and helped elevate the guests’ experience by organizing events for food enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs.
“This was the one!” Chappelle exclaimed. “Talent reigned on every square inch of every stage! This was the place to be. Everything about this festival demonstrated what I love most about our culture: creativity, innovation, and resourcefulness.” Chappelle added.
To celebrate jazz’s legacy during the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, the small-town festival brought in an incredible lineup of cultural luminaries and next-generation superstars from the worlds of jazz and hip-hop. Nas, Mary J. Blige, Chance the Rapper, De La Soul, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Rakim, Talib Kweli, Anderson. Paak, PJ Morton, Cory Henry, and Robert Glasper.
“What sets this festival apart and makes it so dynamic is the atmosphere that we meticulously cultivate for both the esteemed audience and the extraordinary artists,” said Alex Kurland, the director of programming for the Blue Note Jazz Festival Napa. “Essentially, it’s like an epic family reunion. The kinship between artists and cultural keepers sets the stage for impromptu and legendary collaborations, which enhance the overall guest experience.
