Summer of Jazz

Part of JazzBuffalo’s Summer of Jazz Series. A new outdoor concert series that will once again bring the spirit of a European-style outdoor jazz café to downtown Buffalo.

Held in partnership with Tappo Restaurant and a growing group of downtown organizations, the Summer of Jazz Series will take place on July 12, July 26, August 9, and August 23, as Ellicott Street is transformed into an open-air jazz club filled with tables, café seating, and the sounds of some of the region’s most exciting jazz ensembles.

The series reflects a broader mission shared by many in the community: making downtown Buffalo a consistent destination throughout the summer  a place where residents and visitors alike can gather, enjoy exceptional music, and experience the city’s welcoming spirit.

Ellicott Street will once again come alive with its distinctive “outdoor jazz café and club” atmosphere an inviting streetscape where the music flows into the evening air and the block takes on a vibrant European flair.
