"One of the hallmarks of the MONTCLAIR JAZZ FESTIVAL is to bring the very best of new and upcoming talent to the stage, coupled with an all-star cast of legendary artists we are excited to bring to town. We can't wait to feature some of the hottest artists today on September 13th including my own Ursa Major, Jazzmeia Horn and Lakecia Benjamin. I’ll also see you at the Block Party for DJ Brother Mister, the final act at 8:00 pm.
