From KPCA:

Experience the vibrant legacy of jazz in the heart of Queens this summer! Inspired by the iconic Queens Jazz Trail Map, this free concert series brings the borough’s rich jazz history to life in beautiful community parks—where legends like Armstrong, Coltrane, Fitzgerald, and more once called home. Presented by Kupferberg Center for the Arts, Flushing Town Hall, and Louis Armstrong House Museum in partnership with NYC Parks, the Queens Jazz Trail Concert Series honors Queens’ extraordinary jazz legacy and community spirit. 

Six-time Grammy-winning pianist, composer, and bandleader Arturo O’Farrill is a leading voice in Afro-Latin jazz, blending Latin rhythms, jazz, and contemporary composition with a powerful cultural and social vision.

Through his acclaimed recordings, collaborations, and teaching, O’Farrill continues to champion cultural identity, social justice, and the transformative power of music.
