THE 54th ANNUAL HAMPTON JAZZ & MUSIC FESTIVAL REVEALS NEW NAME AND LINE UP FEATURING GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING HEADLINERS

JON BATISTE, KEM, BOYZ II MEN, LEDISI, COCO JONES, BONEY JAMES, BRIAN CULBERTSON, and More JUNE 28, 29 and 30, 2024

MARCH 20, 2024 – HAMPTON, VA: The Hampton Jazz Festival is returning this summer from June 28 – June 30 with an exciting lineup, a fresh look, and a new name: The Hampton Jazz & Music Festival . Tickets for all performances go on sale on Saturday, March 23 at 10:00 a.m. at the Hampton Coliseum Box Office or ticketmaster.com.

The 54 th Annual Hampton Jazz & Music Festival, co-presented by the City of Hampton, Hampton University, and the Santangelo Group, Inc. and hosted by smooth jazz radio show host and jazz enthusiast Jay Lang, promises a dynamic fusion of genres, broadening the festival’s appeal across diverse age groups.

The annual festival has brought the best of jazz, pop, blues, soul, and R&B to the region since its first show on the campus of Hampton University in 1968 as part of a one-time celebration of the institution’s 100 th birthday.

“We have been building off of the success of that first show with lineups that honor our music legends, introduce new artists, and celebrate the rich variety of sounds and styles from around the country,” said Hampton University President Darrell K. Williams. “This year’s festival will continue the tradition of bringing a signature blend of world-class artists, solidifying its place as a “must-stop” destination on the summer festival trail.”

The Jazz Festival rebrand reflects a commitment to redefining the live performance experience, promising a truly unforgettable festival for all attendees.

“This is a nod to the changing times and will keep people excited to attend the festival for many years to come,” said Joe Santangelo, festival co-promoter. “The new name reflects the broad diversity of music that we are bringing to our fans – young and old – from jazz and R&B to funk and more.”

According to organizers, the rebrand signifies a crucial milestone in the growth of the festival.

“The last weekend in June brings thousands of visitors who travel to see the talented artists on stage,” said Hampton Coliseum Director Terri Vander Vennet. “The economic impact of the festival reverberates throughout the City of Hampton. The familiarity of this festival spans generations and reunites friends and family from across the country. We are excited about expanding the music genres and building a bridge between new artists and new festival goers.”

The festival, which has hosted every major jazz artist of this and previous generations, features a vendor fair, food trucks, and pop up shops showcasing small and local businesses from near and far.

“We are proud to have helped present this festival for decades,” said Hampton Mayor Donnie Tuck. “The City of Hampton is proud to be home to many cultural offerings but none as historic as this jazz and music festival. Restaurants, hotels and businesses of all sizes experience the economic boon that’s driven by our local and visiting music-loving guests.”

Featuring a roster of more than two dozen musical groups, including festival debuts, the confirmed artists for this year’s Jazz Festival are as follows:

FRI., JUNE 28, 7:30 p.m. KEM  Ledisi Kingfish Special EFX All-Stars

ABOUT THE HAMPTON JAZZ & MUSIC FESTIVAL

The annual Hampton Jazz & Music Festival has brought the best of jazz, pop, blues, soul, and R&B to the Hampton Roads region for more than five decades. The first festival was held at Hampton University’s Armstrong Stadium in 1968 to celebrate HU’s 100th Anniversary. The best in jazz showed up to play, including Cannonball Adderley, Count Basie, The Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, Herbie Mann Quintet, Thelonious Monk Quintet, Dionne Warwick, and Muddy Waters and his Blues Band.

The popular event was held again the following year, but moved to the newly-built Hampton Coliseum in 1970 where it has since become an annual tradition every last weekend in June. The lineup infuses a mix of talent, with local musicians from the Hampton Roads area acting as openers to nationally recognized headliners.

VP Harris appeals to students at Hampton University: 'When you all start voting in your numbers, this is gonna change'

Vice President Kamala Harris made the trip to Hampton University in Virginia on Thursday, to kick off a multi-state “Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour" as the Biden-Harris administration seeks to energize what could be a key voting bloc in the 2024 presidential election.

What You Need To Know

Vice president kamala harris kicked off her multi-state “fight for our freedoms college tour" on thursday at virginia's hampton university the administration is seeking to mobilize young americans by highlighting key issues it argues "disproportionately impact young people," like reproductive rights, gun safety, voting rights, lgbtq+ equality and climate change ahead of the vice president’s college tour kick-off, the white house sought to highlight the actions the administration has taken to support younger generations, including  funding 14,000 new mental health  professionals in schools through the bipartisan safer communities act and  investing $39 billion in colleges  through the american rescue plan to help them continue serving students during the covid-19 pandemic the white house is also pointing to its work on student debt despite major legal setbacks and challenges around its agenda on the topic.

“What concerns me sometimes is that our young leaders will be told that their vote doesn't matter,” Harris told a boisterous crowd at the historically Black research university. 

“They will be told, by just the forces, that ‘oh, they are unlikely to vote.’ And I know that is not true,” she added, mentioning there was voter registration on campus during her visit. 

The vice president, sitting down for a moderated conversation, took questions from students on gun control, climate change and student loan debt. She argued when it comes to gun violence and the climate, policies will change when young people vote in high numbers. 

“I think that the people who are currently in elected office, who have the power to make decisions about this, don't understand what you all have been through. They don't get it,” she said pointing, to active shooter drills in school and telling the audience “your generation has, your entire life, been acutely aware of the climate crisis.” 

“That's why I can't wait for you to continue in your role of leadership, because when you all start voting in your numbers, this is gonna change.” 

The administration is seeking to mobilize young Americans by highlighting key issues it argues "disproportionately impact young people," like reproductive rights, gun safety, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality and climate change – with Harris having emerged as a leading voice for the White House on the first three issues in particular.  

This summer, Vice President Harris notably traveled to Florida to condemn Republican-led efforts to overhaul educational standards — condemning efforts by officials to “replace history with lies” — declaring that the nation does not have “a moment to spare, nor do we have a life to spare” in the fight to enact stricter firearm legislation at a major gun safety conference in Chicago , and traveled to Iowa to condemn the state’s six-week abortion ban.

Harris on Thursday made the case – as she often has at events centering on issues mentioned above – that “there is an intentional, full-on attack against hard won freedoms,” encouraging students to consider the moment a “call to action” and a reminder they can “never take anything for granted.” 

The vice president was greeted on Thursday at Hampton University by a group of students with pom poms and balloons. She spoke briefly with students outside the auditorium. 

“It is an honor to welcome Vice President Kamala Harris to our ‘Home By the Sea,’” Hampton University President Darrell K. Williams said in a statement . “The excitement across our campus is palpable, and we are grateful for Vice President Harris’ focus on higher education and our students. The bright minds and student leaders of character at Hampton and other institutions are our future.”

Harris' tour will also take her to Morehouse College in Georgia and North Carolina A&T State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Ariz. The White House said the tour is a continuation of Harris’ recent travel — she has been to 17 states this summer— and continues a trend of college visits; she has already been to 11 college campuses in 2023 so far, and 14 institutions last year.

Ahead of the vice president’s college tour kick-off, the White House sought to highlight the actions the administration has taken to support younger generations, including funding 14,000 new mental health professionals in schools through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and investing $39 billion in colleges through the American Rescue Plan to help them continue serving students during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The White House is also pointing to its work on student debt despite major legal setbacks and challenges around its agenda on the topic. The Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan earlier this summer. 

Harris encouraged students to look into the administration’s student loan repayment plan – which is separate from debt forgiveness – that officially launched last month. 

“I think the responsible thing to do is keep pushing and fighting,” she said, speaking on forgiving student debt. 

"The Vice President has been very outspoken, especially of late, on the attacks that we're seeing on Americans basic freedoms," Ernie Apreza, Harris' deputy press secretary told Spectrum News in an interview last week. "She's also very aware and has highlighted just how critical young people have been to any civil rights movement, and certainly how critical they are to the urgent issues that are at stake today."
