GrandLife Hotels proudly presents the Downtown NYC JazzFest, a five-night jazz festival taking place April 22–April 26, 2026, across The Django, Roxy Bar and Club Room at Soho Grand. The festival will showcase an extraordinary lineup of emerging voices, marquee performers, and forward-thinking artists who embody the past, present, and future of New York jazz. The Django will host the marquee acts of the festival with five nights of world-class performances, fine dining, and curated cocktails in one of New York’s most atmospheric underground jazz clubs.

Allan Harris, the Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and bandleader, is a true luminary in the world of music. Revered by the Miami Herald as an artist graced with “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat ‘King’ Cole,” Allan Harris stands as an embodiment of moving and magisterial artistry. At Downtown NYC JazzFest, Allan brings an uptown experience to lower Manhattan with “Harlem After Dark,” a jazz party that celebrates Harlem’s legacy with soulful music, tap dance, and timeless songs.
