Aja Monet, Sophye Soliveau, Fay Victor - presented by NYC Winter Jazzfest - Live at LPR on January 9th, 2025
Winter Jazzfest kicks off with an unforgettable performance by aja monet, the Grammy-nominated Surrealist Blues Poet whose artistry has been called “spellbinding” and “revolutionary.” Known for her groundbreaking debut album, when the poems do what they do, aja blends poetry and music in a way that transcends traditional boundaries, weaving together raw emotion, history, and deep social consciousness. As NPR describes it, her work is “a blend of blues and resistance,” uniting themes of love, liberation, and the relentless pursuit of joy in the face of adversity. Tonight aja monet performs with Javier Santiago, Justin Brown, Logan Richardson, and Ben Williams.
This opening night at Winter Jazzfest is more than a show—it’s a collective journey, a celebration of community, healing, and resilience. Join aja monet as she invites you to “lean in” and feel the power of art to soothe and ignite the spirit.
