(Photo: The jazz legend, Herbie Hancock, makes a momentous visit to Buffalo at Kleinhans Music Hall this Friday!)

We have several momentous events happening in the next week or two.  Proving that our city, through the tremendous support of supporters and audiences like you, is becoming a bonafide jazz destination.  Simply put, major international jazz artists WANT to perform in Buffalo!  Artists like the 9-member band with Andy James, Herbie Hancock, Samara Joy, Elio Villafranca, Amina Figarova, Miguel Zenón, and many more.

Pillar of Jazz 

A true legend of jazz, Herbie Hancock, makes a momentous visit to Buffalo.  JazzBuffalo serves as a promotional partner with Kleinhans Music Hall in making this occasion happen!  This true pillar of jazz has made substantial contributions to jazz.  From his early days with Miles Davis to his role in the evolution of jazz-funk.  One of his most important humanitarian contributions has been his founding of the annual International Jazz Day every April 30th.  Where the call for peace and social harmony is called for across the globe.  JazzBuffalo is an official proud partner to this calling and we invite you to look forward to our 6th annual International Jazz Day celebration on April 30, 2023.
