Sunday Gazebo Jazz 8/16 – LA’s Katalyst Collective Jams w the Community
August 16 @ 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT
The Springfield Avenue Gazebo Jazz Series continues its summer momentum with a special coast‑to‑coast collaboration that brings fresh energy to Maplewood’s Hilton Neighborhood. This Sunday, August 16 at 3 PM, audiences will experience a dynamic blend of West Coast creativity, East Coast soul, and classic R&B flavor as LA’s Katalyst Collective and the Community come together for an afternoon of live music under the open sky.
Katalyst
Katalyst Collective, the forward‑moving ensemble from Los Angeles, is known for its genre‑bending approach to jazz — weaving modern grooves, improvisation, and cultural influences into a sound that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted. Their performances carry a West Coast openness and rhythmic drive that translate beautifully to outdoor stages, making them a standout addition to this year’s series. Their appearance in Maplewood marks a rare East Coast moment for the group, giving local audiences a chance to experience their expansive musical vision firsthand.
Families, neighbors, and music lovers are invited to bring a chair, spread out a blanket, relax on the grass, and enjoy an afternoon of live music. You can bring your own meal or grab something delicious from the food trucks on site, making it easy to settle in for a comfortable day outdoors. Kids can play, adults can unwind, and everyone can enjoy a welcoming, family‑friendly environment that celebrates live jazz in the heart of Maplewood.
Looking back
This is more than a concert — it’s a moment where East Coast and West Coast jazz lovers unite, where community meets creativity, and where Maplewood becomes a gathering place for music fans from across the region. Come be part of the energy, the culture, and the connection. Join us at the Springfield Avenue Gazebo this Sunday at 3 PM and experience a coast‑to‑coast celebration of jazz, soul, and community.
This free community concert is supported by NJPAC Community Engagement and produced by Springfield Avenue Marketing in partnership with Gregory Burrus Productions.
