About June Cavlan:

June Cavlan is an award winning Jazz vocalist based in New York City. June’s unique and charismatic interpretations of works from the Great American Songbook are inspired by legendary vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, and Barbra Streisand. June’s debut effort, “A Portrait of June”, not only showcases her immense vocal prowess but also her skills in arranging, composing, and vocal improvisation. June can be seen performing in and around New York City and also in her hometown of Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. With various projects in the works, her rising vocal jazz trio The Sunhouse Singers (Joie Bianco and Kate Kortum), and her blossoming relationship with her label, La Reserve, June Cavlan breathes new life into this timeless and beloved art form.

About Jazz on the Plaza:

For over 20 years, Jazz on the Plaza has been held in the public outdoor plaza at 601 Lexington Avenue. These midday concerts are free of charge and open to the general public. Many people bring a lunch or purchase it from one of the several area vendors. While every effort is made to host Jazz on the Plaza outdoors, in the event of inclement weather the concert may be moved indoors to the Sanctuary of Saint Peter’s Church, where guests are asked not to bring food or opened beverages.

Concerts begin at 12:30 P.M. and run for about an hour. During the month of September, jazz groups from area colleges are featured as a way to support the ongoing development of young jazz musicians. Through the months of July and August, the festival features some of the best professional jazz musicians in the city. Care is made to present a diversity of ensembles and styles ranging from small trios to large big bands.

THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY PUBLIC FUNDS FROM THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
