For its fifth edition, held this past Sunday, the New York Hot Jazz Festival found a splendid new home at the McKittrick Hotel in Chelsea. A 12-hour program, including many of the best acts of New York’s current trad-jazz and swing revival, occupied three spaces: the lost-in-time club atmosphere of the Heath Stage; a stage set up in the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, Gallow Green; and a Train Car stage for duo sets. JT photographer Alan Nahigian was on hand to capture this well-attended, period-perfect celebration of pre-bop sounds. Also check out Allen Morrison’s full-length review of the 2015 New York Hot Jazz Festival, as well as Nahigian’s images from last year’s event. The full 2017 lineup can still be viewed at the festival’s official website, along with information on upcoming events.
