Jazz in the Valley - New York

www.jazzinthevalleyny.org Stay tuned here on Facebook for new developments. "Jazz in the Valley" was established in 2000 when TRANSART, Inc.

received a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts to commission jazz great Ahmad Jamal to compose a piece in homage to the Hudson River Valley. The presentation of this piece, entitled "Picture Perfect," was the beginning of an end-of-summer event for jazz lovers seeking a change of scenery. The event was also an opportunity for local residents to experience jazz. The program has sinc

e grown into an annual concert series showcasing music performed by world-class musicians fittingly complemented by breathtaking views of the Hudson River as backdrop. The educational component of "Jazz in the Valley" introduces young people to jazz as an art form. It consists of in-school assembly presentations, master classes and music instruction, and a traditional drumming workshop series offered weekly in an after school program. The programs take place in public school districts through the mid-Hudson Valley in the cities of Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, as well as in New York City - anywhere there are numbers of culturally disadvantaged youth.

Celebrating the legendary Stax Records and Al Bell this Black Music Month! 🎶

Founded in Tennessee in 1957 by Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton, whose names inspired the iconic “Stax,” this label crafted the famous “Memphis sound” that echoed around the world.

Al Bell, a key executive and producer, played a vital role in expanding Stax’s legacy and bringing its soulful sounds to new heights. Known for honoring African American musical heritage, Stax produced over 167 top hits on the pop charts and 243 on the R&B charts.
Despite challenges, its legacy was revitalized in 1977, shaping the music landscape forever. ✨🎵
