About Jazz Fest: Walter Beasley, Gerald Albright, JUBU and Julian Vaughn

This is a summit meeting of contemporary jazz royalty, and Atlanta is the stage. Walter Beasley is a Billboard-charting saxophonist and vocalist whose warm, soulful tone has earned him a devoted following across R&B and smooth jazz audiences for decades. His live performances are immersive — equal parts virtuosity and crowd connection — and his Atlanta appearances always draw serious jazz devotees.

Gerald Albright is one of the most celebrated saxophonists alive. A Grammy-nominated artist with collaborations spanning Whitney Houston, Ray Charles, and Anita Baker on his résumé, Albright brings a technical mastery and stage presence that elevates every performance. His name alone sells shows, and his appearance on this bill makes the July 18 date unmissable for jazz fans in the Southeast.

JUBU — the guitar-driven innovator known for fusing jazz, funk, and R&B into a signature sound — adds a high-energy, groove-forward dimension to the lineup. JUBU's catalog rewards longtime fans and converts new listeners on first listen, making him a perfect mid-bill performer for a festival setting.

Julian Vaughn rounds out the roster as one of the freshest voices in contemporary jazz bass. His debut album reached the top of the Billboard Smooth Jazz charts, and his momentum has only accelerated. Vaughn's presence signals that this Jazz Fest lineup is built to satisfy both legacy fans and the next generation of jazz listeners.

Together, these four artists represent the full spectrum of modern jazz — melodic, groove-driven, technically brilliant, and deeply soulful. Atlanta is getting a festival-within-a-festival on a single summer night.
