Jazz and wine are an immaculate pairing. Perhaps that’s why the Blue Note Jazz Festival, held for the first time at Napa’s Silverado Resort, feels so auspicious. The fest is also known for its flagship edition in New York City, but the wine country setting seems truly picturesque. Although its lineup isn’t based on jazz in the traditional sense, it has aggregated a roster of artists that all draw from the genre’s lineage in one way or another.
All three of its days are hosted by comedian Dave Chappelle, featuring pianist Robert Glasper as the artist in residence. Napa’s headliners for Blue Note are powerhouse vocalist Mary J. Blige, ‘90s rap titan Nas, and mixtape-purist-turned-The Voice-judge Chance the Rapper. Other performers include Gary Clark Jr., BJ the Chicago Kid, Big Freedia, George Clinton, and Smino, to name just a handful.
