32 Bar Records Showcase and July Jazz Events
I’ve
recently added new content to the FJD website, including a spotlight on
Richmond’s great new jazz label 32 Bar Records, complete with
listen-only song tracks. Additionally, my Richmond Events
page has been updated with the latest live jazz events for July in
Richmond, Virginia and beyond. There is a lot going on, so get out there
and see some live jazz! Here are just a few of the upcoming shows you
simply gotta’ dig….
The Mingus Awareness Project at Balliceaux
Two
nights of jazz performances celebrating the music of Charles Mingus and
also benefitting and raising funds for the fight against ALS (Lou
Gehrig's disease - which Mingus died from).

Monday, July 22nd - Brian Jones Trio and the RVA Big Band

The Richmond Jazz Festival at Maymont Park
August 8 - 11
Annual
4-day event featuring quite a few of today's top class jazz impovisers
and trend-setters. One or two of these performers are worth the price of
the ticket alone. My personal picks for this event: pianist Robert Glasper, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, trumpeter Terence Blanchard, pianist Chick Corea, pianist Jason Moran and The Bandwagon, and the Central Virginia Jazz Orchestra. Great place to watch jazz outdoors, too!
Preceded by a special "Homegrown at the Hipp" event a the legendary Hippodrome Theater in Jackson Ward. Artists TBD for that.
