Jazz4Justice presents the Jazz4Justice Juneteenth Festival on Monday, June 19th (the observed Federal holiday) at 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Busboys and Poets located at 625 Monroe St NE, Washington, DC to benefit the First Shift Justice Project. The event is free and open to the general public with a suggested donation of $20.
The event will begin with a dynamite performance by the Herb Scott Quartet, followed by singer extraordinaire Alison Crockett with her trio. Then world renown saxophonist Brent Birckhead will take the stage for a riveting set backed by the Jazz4Justice All Stars. Following Brent’s set will be a community jazz jam where everyone is welcome to come sit in and play. There will be tabling by local non-profits Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts and Spark the Journey, as well as complimentary sparkling mineral water courtesy of Topo Chico.
