Frederick P. Rose Hall�Broadway at 60th Street, 5th Floor

We�ve got an exciting slate of workshops and panels
scheduled for the Jazz Congress 2020. From how-to
workshops to timely, issue-oriented panels, Jazz Congress covers a wide range of
ideas and topics over the course of more than 30 sessions.

We will present the Lundvall Visionary Award during the Monday afternoon Keynote session. The award recognizes someone who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership and vision in expanding the audience for jazz and who has made a real difference for the artists, the music and the audience. 

Past award winners include Darlene Chan, Terri Lyne Carrington, Christian McBride, Brice Rosenbloom, and Randall Kline.

The keynote session, The Legacy of Betty Carter, will immediately follow
the award presentation. Participants will include Dee Dee Bridgewater; Benny
Green; Gregory Hutchinson; Christian McBride, and Kenny Washington. Ren� Marie
will moderate the session.

After the keynote, everyone is invited to partake in the opening
night reception, sponsored by the St Lucia Jazz Festival produced in
collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center.
