Jazz Society is proud to honor the memory of Jazz bassist Paul Brown by renaming its summer Jazz Series to Paul Brown Monday Night Jazz presented by the Hartford Jazz Society. Mr. Brown died in May at the age of 82.
In 1967, Brown started what became known as the Monday Night Jazz in Bushnell Park Series. Mr. Brown's free Monday night concerts originally were held in the Garden Area Center and on North End streets before moving to Bushnell Park downtown. The Hartford Jazz Society began producing the series in 2008. Paul Brown Monday Night Jazz, the nation’s oldest free, continuously-run jazz concert series, returns to downtown Hartford’s Bushnell Park for its 49th consecutive season. Presented by the Hartford Jazz Society, the Monday Night Jazz season begins on July 11 and includes six weeks of free open-air performances by locally, nationally and internationally renowned jazz artists.
