Smooth Summer Jazz at Hollywood Bowl

Our annual mini-festival dedicated to the silkiest sounds around returns for another night of breezy tempos, rich melodies, and laidback vibes. This year’s edition is headlined by Gregory Porter, the two-time Grammy winner whose buttery voice and tender lyrics have made him his generation’s most soulful jazz singer-songwriter. The great George Benson, the jazz guitarist and R&B star behind hits like “On Broadway,” “Give Me the Night,” and “Turn Your Love Around,” joins up with an orchestra. And singer Lizz Wright opens the night with a voice *The New York Times* calls “a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon.” Get ready for a supremely smooth evening!
