The Queens Jazz Trail Concert Series celebrates the borough’s rich jazz heritage, honoring the neighborhoods where legends such as Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Tony Bennett, and Lena Horne once lived and performed. Inspired by the iconic Queens Jazz Trail Map, the series brings this musical history to life through FREE outdoor concerts in parks across the borough, featuring outstanding artists from New York City and beyond.
Thank you to every artist who brought their incredible talent to the Queens Jazz Trail, and to everyone who joined us throughout the summer to listen, dance, sing along, and celebrate together.
We’re especially grateful to our sponsors and partners whose support helps make these free performances possible and keeps live music accessible to communities across Queens.
From legendary jazz history to the incredible artists and audiences who continue to shape the borough’s musical culture, this summer was a wonderful celebration of the music, memories, and spirit of Queens.
Thank you for being part of the Queens Jazz Trail community. We look forward to bringing the music back to the trail in 2027!
