The Jazz In The Valley Music Festival in Poughkeepsie, NY | August 17th-18th, 2024

JITV began as an afternoon of music when TRANSART received an individual artist grant commission from the New York State Council on the Arts to commission Ahmad Jamal to create an original composition for the organization. Inspired by the natural beauty of the area he created “Picture Perfect” and it was first heard in a concert in the summer of 2000.
Promoted as an afternoon of music and art the concert has since grown into an annual festival, showcasing music performed by world-class musicians, fittingly complemented by breathtaking views of the Hudson River Valley as backdrop.
Jazz in the Valley has an intergenerational programming philosophy. Its programming allows living legends and younger voices to continue to expand the jazz idiom. The festival has introduced artists working in the industry who are outside of the mainstream and for the first time are able to have their voices heard in a public forum. The festival focus is on the music and often includes films and other programming with dialogue addressing issues that impact the art form, the musicians and its audience.
