Grammy-nominated flutist and composer Itai Kriss has been a vital force in New York’s jazz and Latin music scene for over two decades, blending Israeli musical traditions with jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and influences from North Africa and Brazil. Founder of the ensemble TELAVANA, Kriss creates energetic, rhythm-driven music that connects the sounds of the Middle East and the Caribbean through Timba, jazz, soul, and global traditions.
This concert will take place at Travers Park in Jackson Heights. It’s free—just show up! Bring a blanket, lawn chair, picnic, friends—even your dancing shoes—and join us for an evening of live jazz in the park!
All concerts take place on Thursdays at 7 PM.
