The 13th Annual Hyde Park Jazz Festival will be held on 14 stages September 28-29. Performances will feature composers and musicians from Chicago’s South Side.
The festival will partner with the Reva & David Logan Center for the Arts in supporting new works by Chicago composers. This year there will be a special feature on emerging saxophonist, Isaiah Collier, and multi-instrumentalist, Angel Bat Dawid.
The festival will also honor late trumpeter Roy Hargrove with a performance led by drummer, Willie Jones III, who for nearly 10 years performed in Hargrove’s best-known quintets. Joining Jones will be alumni from Hargrove’s groups – Justin Robinson (alto sax), Marc Cary (piano), Gerald Cannon (bass), Renee Neufville (vocals), and Hargrove protege Giveton Gelin (trumpet).
Chicago trumpeter Pharez Whitted will close the festival on Sunday with his ensemble: Eddie Bayard (tenor sax), Runere Brooks (bass), Andrew Toombs (piano/keys), Xazavian Valladay (drums).
The 2019 Hyde Park Jazz Festival will also feature a performance in Rockefeller Chapel by trumpeter/composer Amir ElSaffar, who will perform his composition Ahwaal. The composition was commissioned by the Jazztopad Festival in Wroclaw, Poland in 2018 and features Polish musicians, Ksawery Wojcinski (bass), Waclaw Zimple (clarinet), and the Lutoslawski Quartet: Małgorzata Wasiucionek (violin), Marcin Markowicz (violin), Artur Rozmysłowicz (viola), Maciej Młodawski (cello).
