BRIC JazzFest 2025 invites you on a journey that begins at BRIC House in Downtown Brooklyn and radiates out into the world. This year’s genre-defying lineup embodies jazz as a global language—shaped by migration, innovation, and collaboration. With half the groups led by women and visionary producer and composer Adrian Younge as guest curator, the festival features artists blending jazz with traditions from Morocco, South Africa, Cuba, Ethiopia, the UK, and more. Known for bridging global Black musical traditions, Younge brings a curatorial vision shaped by recent collaborations with Brazilian artists on his 2025 album Something About April III, as well as with Ghanaian legend Ebo Taylor.
