Cecile McLorin Salvant

Moment's Notice this week brings a hefty order of artists pushing boundaries in jazz, including Cécile McLorin Salvant, Thundercat and Jon Batiste. But like always, we're also keeping the local scene in mind, with performances from Lafayette Gilchrist & New Volcanoes, the Alexander Claffy Quartet and more.

The leaves may not be turning, but the Eagles are back on the field, the kids are back in school — and the fall arts season is upon us. What does that mean for jazz fans in the Philadelphia area? A lot of big names doing big things, along with the usual steady hum around the scene.

As we close the door on 2023, it’s a good time to take note of some jazz highlights from the next couple of months. As usual, Moment's Notice has you covered.
