Happy Tribute Jack DeJohnette
A tribute to Jack DeJohnette, the late jazz drummer, pianist, and longtime Woodstock resident, will bring nearly 50 musicians to Kingston’s Ulster Performing Arts Center on Aug. 9, what would have been his 84th birthday.
Presenters of the UPAC event include Pat Metheny, Terri Lyne Carrington, DeJohnette’s wife, Lydia, and Danny Melnick of Saugerties, a jazz concert promoter and close friend of the DeJohnettes.
The evening will feature nationally and internationally known musicians who will perform, speak, or both in DeJohnette’s honor. The program includes John Scofield, Esperanza Spalding, Ravi Coltrane, Bruce Hornsby, Dave Holland, and John Medeski, with additional participants expected.
Doors open at 4 p.m. The show starts at 5 p.m.
