Description

IN-PERSONThe Schomburg Center’s annual Women's Jazz Festival (WJF) is celebrating 31 years of centering Black women in the field of jazz. The Women’s Jazz Festival was founded in 1992 by then Harlem resident and jazz vocalist, Melba Joyce. Year after year, the festival and its curators have brought together musicians, dancers and a melding of musical genres to deliver an exciting series of concerts featuring some of the best-known and emerging talent by women in jazz today. The 2023 festival will be held in person on March 6,13, and 20.  Join us for the second night of the Women's Jazz Festival direct from New Orleans with The Original Pinettes Brass Band, as we celebrate women of the African diaspora and their contributions to the sounds of jazz. The only all-women Brass Band in the world, members of The Original Pinettes were born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and will be bringing that authentic Bourbon Street flavor to the Schomburg stage. Playing an array of horns will be Natasha Harris, Veronique Dorsey, Dionne Harrison, Jazz Henry, Christie A. Jourdain, Demaries Holmes, Careese Williams, and Dorian Jones. ***For a limited time, enjoy $15 General Admission tickets / $10 Schomburg Society tickets (Plus Eventbrite fees) for week 2 of the WJF***#WJF2023 #SchomburgLive PARTICIPANTSTHE ORIGINAL PINETTES BRASS BAND can be seen performing at many different venues and festivals, including Essence Music Festival, and The French Quarter Festival, Preservation Hall, The Jazz & Heritage Festival, and The Satchmo Festival, to name a few.
