Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland
Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland, presented by KeyBank
The 46th Annual Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland, presented by KeyBank, is June 26 – 28, 2025.
The lineup for the 46th annual Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland, presented by KeyBank, promises to be an eclectic mix of cultures and styles. Special tributes include a swinging centennial nod to Oscar Peterson, featuring the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and Benny Green, and an homage to the enduring duo of Chick Corea and Gary Burton with Taylor Eigsti and Christian Tamburr. The festival shows its abiding respect for the wide spectrum of jazz tradition with the Sun Ra Arkestra — a pioneer of Afrofuturism — combining swing, free jazz, bebop, chanting and dancing. Global musicians include Pedrito Martinez, a leading percussionist in Cuban rumba; the quintessential singer of our time, Dianne Reeves, in a rare duo with Brazilian guitarist Romero Lubambo; and South African vocalist Jonathan Butler, with stirring messages of freedom and unity. Add to it the mastery of Kirk Whalum, Dominick Farinacci, Stanley Clarke and the highly energetic New Orleans funk master himself, Trombone Shorty, and you have a journey full of interesting stops and a lot of great music.
