The DetroitJazzFest moves forward for 2020
Herbie Hancock performs during the Newport Jazz Festival 2019 at Fort Adams State Park on Aug. 2, 2019 in Newport, Rhode Island.
Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper, Pharoah Sanders, Bob James, the Manhattan Transfer, Take 6 and artist-in-residence Dee Dee Bridgewater are among the big names that will play at the world's largest free jazz festival during Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-7, in downtown Detroit. Bridgewater will perform each day including sets with the Woodshed Network Ladies and Bill Charlap.
"We ARE a jazz festival; Everything falls from the jazz tree, from the jazz perspective," DJF president and artistic director Chris Collins told Billboard in making the announcement, online rather than at its usual luncheon rollout. A performance by Bridgewater scheduled for Monday night was also canceled."Everything is very much based on the history and language of jazz and the community sensibilities of sophisticated improvisation.
Collins added that DJF organizers are"keeping a very close eye on and reacting to" developments in the pandemic but feel the best course of action is to proceed on pace. No artists, he said, have canceled their appearances, and he raised the possibility that the DJF may add performers who lost gigs at European and North American festivals that have been affected by the pandemic.
