Jazz & Colors has returned for its second year in Central Park, and according to the Village Voice it is a must see for the month of November.
According to Jazz Times the event is produced by independent music and film entrepreneur Peter Shapiro, in partnership with the City of New York and the Central Park Conservancy.
Shapiro told The New York Times that, “the idea was to put music throughout the park, wherever you went, but the key to that was no tickets. No seats. No V.I.P.s. That’s where I had to make a decision to fund it myself.”
The event is booked by Brice Rosenbloom who is best known for conceiving and producing the Winter Jazzfest.
This year will be a little different though, said The New York Times, as all of the bands will simultaneously play the same two sets of jazz standards, from noon to 4 p.m.
