(NEW YORK, NY) -- The twenties will roar again at the 7th Annual Gotham Jazz Festival on Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 3 West Club from 12:30pm to 12:30am. The event is a full day of dancing, lounging, and listening to over twenty of NYC's best hot jazz & swing bands... well over 100 musicians! Open to all ages.
The 7th Annual Gotham Jazz Festival is produced by Prohibition Productions and GOTHAM JAZZ INC. They built the Festival for everyone… whether you want to sit and listen, or get up and dance! Plus it’s a jazz festival, that actually only has jazz… with a focus on early or trad jazz (Hot jazz and swing).
The lineup includes The Hot Sardines; Bria Skonberg Quartet w. Patrick Bartley & Warren Vache; Anderson Brothers; Eyal Vilner Big Band; Danny Jonokuchi Big Band; Alphonso Horne & The Gotham Kings; Hot Toddies Jazz Band w.. Hannah Gill; Danny Lipsitz & The Brass Tacks; Conal Fowkes & Jay Rattman; Elizabeth Bougerol & Her Band; Evan Palazzo & Friends; The Brothers Arntzen; Daniel Glass Trio; Adrien Chevalier Gypsy Jazz; Bryce Edwards Frivolity Tri-OH!; JAM SESSION led by Jen Hodge; ragtime pianist Terry Waldo; Dewitt Fleming Jr tap dancer & emcee.
The Festival is divided into two halves; you may purchase tickets for each half separately, or get a full day pass. The first half is more of a listening event (but one still has plenty of space to dance), and the second half is more like our swing dance & cocktail parties (but you still can just listen).
Tickets are available for purchase online. 3 West Club is located at 3 West 51st St (off 5th Ave) in New York City.
