—> The GOTHAM JAZZ FESTIVAL has been cancelled <—
It saddens our hearts to announce that due to COVID-19 we have to cancel the Festival on April 19th. The Players (Club) board of directors decided to not allow events over 50 people until at least May, and has also closed their doors until further notice.
We had hoped to see how things developed over the next few weeks, but now have no choice. We are exploring other options to have a streaming or virtual Festival, but this will be hard to do without a major sponsor (contact us if interested).
Ticket holders will be issued full-refunds shortly from Eventbrite. Please try and support the 80 musicians whom were to perform at the Festival… if you can, please buy CDs and recordings, take online lessons, or watch virtual concerts…
