A Lineup of Unforgettable Performances
This year's festival promises an extraordinary lineup featuring some of the finest talents in the world of jazz. Highlights include 2024 GRAMMY Jazz Vocalist of the Year, Nicole Zuraitis, whose voice is sure to captivate the audience, and four-time World Series Champion Bernie Williams, showcasing his talents off the field with his smooth guitar stylings. New Orleans legend Doreen Ketchens will bring the soulful sounds of her clarinet, while vocal sensation John Dokes will lead the Savannah Jazz Orchestra in a performance that will resonate long after the final note.
With performances spread across several iconic Savannah locations, including the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, Lucas Theatre for the Arts, Forsyth Park, and District Live, the festival offers a unique opportunity to experience the city’s deep connection to jazz.

Savannah Jazz: A Legacy of Excellence
The Savannah Jazz Festival is more than just a series of concerts; it’s a celebration of Savannah’s storied jazz history. Born out of the Coastal Jazz Association in 1981, Savannah Jazz has played a pivotal role in keeping the spirit of jazz alive in this Southern gem. Through live performances, educational initiatives, and the annual festival, Savannah Jazz continues to foster a love for jazz among new generations.
Visitors to the festival can also explore the Savannah Jazz Hall of Fame, where they’ll discover the contributions of legends like Johnny Mercer, Ben Tucker, and Irene Reid. The forthcoming Savannah Jazz History and Hall of Fame Exhibit at the Savannah History Museum will further tell the story of Savannah’s deep-rooted jazz tradition, rivaling even that of New Orleans.
