The 5th annual Healdsburg Jazz Festival is proud to present the North Bay debut of legendary vocalist Abbey Lincoln, the last of the great jazz divas, headlining a spectacular June 8 outdoor double bill concert with flute virtuoso James Newton at the picturesque Rodney Strong Vineyards. Lincoln’s much-anticipated performance will be the culmination of a weeklong celebration of jazz at an annual event that has become one of the North Bay’s premiere festivals.
The festival kicks off Sunday, June 1, at a free outdoor concert in Healdsburg Plaza, featuring Afro-Cuban drumming master Tacuma King and the Children’s Percussion Workshop, the Healdsburg High School Jazz Band, and the Khalil Shaheed Sextet.
The festival continues with two consecutive nights of gourmet jazz and wine dinners at chef/owner Charlie Palmer’s acclaimed Dry Creek Kitchen (June 2 and 3); an evening with Angela Wellman’s New Roots (June 4); a gala dinner and opening night concert at Chateau Sovereign with 15-year-old Sonoma County jazz guitar phenom Julian Lage, drummer Billy Hart, and bassist Ray Drummond (June 5); and showcase concerts featuring Bobby Hutcherson, George Cables, and Ray Drummond (June 6); the Mary Stallings Quartet (June 7); and Joe Lovano & Friends with guest vocalist Judi Silvano (June 7) ending with the grand finale at Rodney Strong (June 8).
The Healdsburg Jazz Festival, under the guidance of artistic director Jessica Felix, is presented in association with the Healdsburg Arts Council.

Here's the line-up as is, but this will be updated as Jessica books more musicians. The shows at the big Raven Theater (there's a multiplex with a concert room, too, that they sometimes use) usually wind up bursting at the seams with great talent by the time she's done. I told her to get Cecil. She said, "I'm glad *somebody's* listening to Cecil Taylor!"
