NYC’s Winter Jazzfest is back for its 22nd year, lighting up Manhattan and Brooklyn with a powerful message: STILL WE RISE. This isn’t just a music festival—it’s a celebration of Black American music, community, and the joy of gathering, especially when culture feels under threat. The first wave of artists is already turning heads, from Adam O’Farrill’s ELEPHANT to Meshell Ndegeocello and Lakecia Benjamin. The festival’s bold visuals, inspired by Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise,” set the tone for a week of resilience and creativity. Who’s planning to catch a show or join the marathon? #Culture #NYCJazzfest #StillWeRise
