Early January's Winter Jazzfest, a two-night, multi-venue fete that lured thousands of folks into Greenwich Village to see dozens of downtown-jazz stalwarts (Voice poll darlings Vijay Iyer and Darcy James Argue were among the star attractions) was a huge success, so much so that the organizers are reprising it in June. The Undead Jazzfest brings 30-plus artists to Le Poisson Rouge, Kenny's Castaways, and Sullivan Hall June 12-13, including Bernie Worrell, Matthew Shipp, Greg Tate's own Burnt Sugar, Ben Allison, and Roswell Rudd. Full schedule is here and below. One of the only real disadvantages to Winter Jazzfest was the bone-rattling dead-of-winter setting; that will hopefully not be a problem this time.
