Jazz Along the Charles

Celebrity Series of Boston presents the much-anticipated return of Jazz Along the Charles with the Esplanade Association and the Richard K. Lubin Family Foundation as lead sponsors. More than 100 local musicians, in 25 jazz ensembles, will perform–in their own style–set lists of Boston-inspired music composed by women. A new world premiere commission by Grammy award-winner Terri Lyne Carrington titled “Bay Warriors” will open the event. Onlookers can experience the event however they choose: linger with one band to hear their interpretation of each tune or make their way along a loop to sample the diversity of our city’s jazz scene. Ken Field and Zahili Zamora are co-curators of this free public event on Saturday, October 7 from 2-4pm at the DCR Charles River Esplanade, Boston. Rain or shine. Food and merchandise will be available for purchase.
