The Jazz Voyager

They say Atlanta, Georgia is hot and this may be one of the hottest weekends for jazz in the country which is why the Jazz Voyager is heading South for the Memorial Day weekend. My first stop kicking off the weekend on Friday evening at City Winery is to check out Superblue featuring Kurt Elling, Charlie Hunter and special guest Scott Mulvahill.

The fifteen time nominated and two-time GRAMMY winner Kurt Elling has secured his place among the world’s foremost jazz vocalists. He has also received three awards from France, two Dutch, two from Germany, 14 year DownBeat Critics and Readers and twelve Jazz Journalists.

City Winery is located at Ponce City Market, 650 North Avenue NE 30308 Tickets range from $35.00~$45.00. You can reach the venue by phone at 404-946-3791 and can always get ticket information at citywinery.com/atlanta.

As if that isn’t enough music, the Atlanta Jazz Festival kicks off on Saturday with three days of free jazz in Piedmont Park. Bringing to the stage this year’s lineup includes Brandee Younger, Javon Jackson, Samara Joy, Wynton Marsalis, Lakecia Benjamin, Tony Hightower, Brenda Nicole Moorer, Stanley Clarke and many others. More information can be found at https://atljazzfest.com/2023-atlanta-jazz-festival-lineup/.

So needless to say this Jazz Voyager will be hanging out in Hotlanta till Tuesday when he’ll be on his way to his next jazz encounter!
