5. Women’s Jazz Festival at The Schomburg Center

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture presents Women’s Jazz Festival: Ella, Ella: A Centennial Celebration of Mama Jazz. There’s still time to take part in this month-long celebration, where you can join in a conversation about the legacy of Ella Fitzgerald (There’s Something About Ella), and listen to the sounds of the French duo Les Nubians, who will perform on the final evening of the festival.

Women’s Jazz Festival: Ella, Ella: A Centennial Celebration of Mama Jazz will continue through March at The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a part of the New York Public Library, located at 515 Malcolm X Blvd. (Lenox Avenue), at 135th Street. WBGO Jazz is a media partner of this event. While you’re there, be sure to see the exhibit, Black Power!, on view through December, 2017.
