Hudson Hall is presenting the inaugural Hudson Jazz Festival February 16-18 in their upstairs theater.

The HJF is curated by Hudson-based jazz pianist Armen Donelian, and has a real international flair. Jazz matriarch Sheila Jordan and Dominique Eade headline Saturday evening, preceded by the 2018 NEA Jazz Master JoAnne Brackeen earlier in the day. The festival opens with the Middle Eastern sounds of The Ara Dinkjian Quartet, and closes with the fiery, Quarterto Moderno.

The festival also features a free documentary screening and a hands-on jazz workshop. To tell us more, we welcome Armen Donelian and Sheila Jordan.
