20th Anniversary Band

As a part of the 20th Anniversary of the Hyde Park Jazz Festival, we are pleased to celebrate alongside some of the musicians who have been with us since the beginning—particularly those who, 20 years ago, were in their own formative stages, and who have gone on to be critically acclaimed around the world. For this performance, we are excited to welcome Marquis Hill, Makaya McCraven, Junius Paul, and Joel Ross back “home” to Hyde Park and to celebrate all they have accomplished.
