The multi-talented entertainer sings and teaches and has performed for Jazzmobile, Jazz Power Initiative, Blue Note, Birdland, Charlie Parker Jazz Festival and in countries around the world including Israel, Russia and South Korea.

WBGO Kids Jazz Concert series debuted in 1994 as a way to bring free, quality arts education to children and families in and around Newark. Over the past 30 years, thousands of children have attended the performances, many of whom now bring their own children to concerts. Each concert includes great music by accomplished musicians presenting an educational theme in a fun, family-friendly environment. The series teaches youngsters about the history and influence of America’s greatest original art form, jazz. By doing so, we work to develop the next generation of jazz musicians and aficionados.
Free and open to all. Appropriate for all ages. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Adults must attend with a child. Register here.
This concert is held in conjunction with the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Davell Crawford, who originally scheduled to headline this day, can no longer perform as planned.
