The conference, which brings together the jazz community for a series of panels, workshops and special events, will again be held at Saint Peter's Church at 54th Street & Lexington Avenue. The 2017 Jazz Connect Conference, with a theme of The Family of Jazz, flows into both the APAP conference and Winter Jazzfest. This past year's conference was attended by over 800 industry professionals and artists (a 20% increase from the previous year) and featured a keynote address by Dee Dee Bridgewater, recently named a NEA Jazz Master.
The Grammy-award winning bandleader/composer/arranger Maria Schneider will give the keynote address at the 2017 Jazz Connect Conference. Christian McBride will receive the Bruce Lundvall Visionary Award, for his efforts in expanding the audience for jazz.
