The Monterey Jazz Festival, the longest continuously-running jazz festival in the world, presents its fourth national tour with a special appearance at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) from Tuesday, January 6th through Sunday, January 11th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Featuring critically-acclaimed, GRAMMY-winning jazz artists, the all-star tour band features Terence Blanchard on trumpet; Ravi Coltrane on tenor and soprano saxophones; musical director Gerald Clayton on piano; Joe Sanders on bass; and Justin Brown on drums. World-renowned for its artistic excellence, sophisticated informality, and longstanding mission to create and support year-round jazz education and performance programs in local, regional, national, and international venues, Monterey Jazz Festival has stayed true to expanding live performances of jazz around the country since 2008 by presenting national tours that have reached over 100,000 fans in 135 shows across the United States and Canada. Terence Blanchard, a frequent performer at Monterey over the last several decades, led an all-Star group across the country in 2008 to celebrate the Festival's 50th year, and has acted as the Festival's Artist-In-Residence. Ravi Coltrane first appeared at Monterey in 2001, nearly 41 years to the day after his own father made his debut at Monterey in 1960. Ravi recently appeared at the Festival in 2013. Gerald Clayton, Joe Sanders and Justin Brown, some of the rising stars in the jazz world, have been recent performers on Monterey stages, both at the Monterey Jazz Festival itself, and as high school students at the Festival's student competition, the Next Generation Jazz Festival. Clayton, a scholarship and soloist award winner at Monterey's 2000 and 2001 springtime Next Generation Jazz Festival with the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, madetrio appearances at MJF in 2010 and 2012with Joe Sanders, and recently performed in 2014 in duo with Charles Lloyd. Justin Brown, also an alumnus of the Monterey Jazz Festival's jazz education programs - including the Next Generation Jazz Festival with Berkeley High School and the 2000 Next Generation Jazz Orchestra - performed at Monterey with the Gerald Clayton Trio in 2010, and with fellow two-time Next Generation Jazz Orchestra alumnus Ambrose Akinmusire in 2014. The Monterey Jazz Festival has presented nearly every major jazz star - from Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong to Esperanza Spalding and Trombone Shorty - since it was founded in 1958. Held every third full weekend in September on the Monterey County Fairgrounds, the Monterey Jazz Festival is a three-day celebration of music, commissioned jazz compositions, in-depth conversations with artists, panel discussions, workshops, exhibitions, clinics, and an international array of food, shopping, and festivities spread throughout 20 acres. A nonprofit organization, Monterey Jazz Festival now budgets more than $500,000 annually for jazz education. Cutting-edge educational components include the Traveling Clinician and Latin Jazz Programs; the Festival's Summer Jazz Camp; the Instrument and Sheet Music Library; the Digital Education Music Project; the Monterey County High School All-Star Bands; and the Next Generation Jazz Festival - which draws thousands of the most talented young musicians from across the country and around the world to Monterey each spring. The Artist-In-Residence Program, a key component of Monterey Jazz Festival's philosophy of bringing leading jazz performers to work with students throughout the year, includes their appearance at the Next Generation Jazz Festival, Summer Jazz Camp and the Monterey Jazz Festival, both in performance and instruction. There is a $20-$35 cover.
