✨In Loving Memory of Peabo Bryson ✨
Today, the Weekend of Jazz family joins music lovers around the world in mourning the loss of the legendary Peabo Bryson.
A longtime Weekend of Jazz favorite, Peabo graced our stages on multiple occasions throughout the years, including unforgettable performances at Weekend of Jazz at The Broadmoor and a special appearance alongside Deniece Williams at WOJ Kiawah. He also delighted audiences as a surprise guest during one of Earl’s performances in Atlanta, creating a moment fans still remember fondly. Throughout his remarkable career, he captivated audiences with the rich, timeless voice that made him one of the most beloved balladeers in contemporary music. His performances were filled with elegance, warmth, and the kind of artistry that leaves a lasting impression.
Millions came to know and love his voice through the Academy Award-winning songs “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World,” timeless classics that introduced his artistry to generations of listeners.
Beyond his extraordinary talent, Peabo Bryson will be remembered for his kindness, his generosity in sharing his time and talent with fans, and the deep love and pride he carried for his family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, fellow musicians, and the countless fans whose lives were touched by his music. 🤍
