DANCE • LOUNGE • LISTEN
The twenties roar again at the 6th annual GOTHAM JAZZ FESTIVAL a full day of dancing, lounging, n' listening to over twenty of NYC's best hot jazz & swing bands… well over 100 musicians!

NYHJC Ensembles / NYHJC Vocalists
Hell’s Kitchen Killowatts

NYHJC Faculty All Stars - with Catherine Russell, Mike Davis, Dan Levinson, Ron Wilkins, Cynthia Sayer, Rossano Sportiello, Tal Ronen and Kevin Dorn.

The Gotham Jazz Festival is the culmination of all the events and musicians we work with throughout the year, and an amazing opportunity to hear many of your favorites in one place. We built the Festival for everyone, whether you want to sit and listen, or get up and dance! We return this year the the beautiful Downtown Association Club at 60 Pine St, which is a private social club from the Gilded Age of old New York City, same as our previous home at The Players Club… but significantly bigger!

The Festival is divided into two halves; you may purchase tickets for each half separately, or get a full day pass. The first half is more of a listening event (but one still has plenty of space to dance), and the second half is more like our larger parties (but you still can just listen)!

Following sold-out festivals, Prohibition Productions and New York Hot Jazz Camp have teamed up again to co-produce this amazing day of jazz!

GOTHAM JAZZ FESTIVAL (2020) - CANCELLED

updated March 19th at 6:00pm
—> The GOTHAM JAZZ FESTIVAL has been cancelled <—
It saddens our hearts to announce that due to COVID-19 we have to cancel the Festival on April 19th. The Players (Club) board of directors decided to not allow events over 50 people until at least May, and has also closed their doors until further notice.

We had hoped to see how things developed over the next few weeks, but now have no choice. We are exploring other options to have a streaming or virtual Festival, but this will be hard to do without a major sponsor (contact us if interested).

Ticket holders will be issued full-refunds shortly from Eventbrite. Please try and support the 80 musicians whom were to perform at the Festival… if you can, please buy CDs and recordings, take online lessons, or watch virtual concerts… click for list & links for the Festival’s bands / band leaders.
