NJ PAC Announces 13th Annual James Moody Jazz Fest November 7-24
The New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark has announced the dates at various venues for the 13th annual James Moody Jazz Festival, happening this year from November 7 to 14. Christian McBride says, ““After 14 years of being Jazz Advisor here at NJ PAC, it amazes me how each year this festival just gets better and bigger. I’m so excited about this year – the lineup is stacked! To bring together people like Vernon Reid, George Clinton and Dianne Reeves, and to get to play with my own big band? It’s a season of diamonds and pearls!”
