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.

For this special Downtown NYC JazzFest show, famed saxophone players Eric Alexander and Sam Dillon take the stage for a fierce musical battle that promises to be a night filled with “Tenor Madness.”

Boasting a warm, finely burnished tone and a robust melodic and harmonic imagination, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander brings a seasoned veteran’s proficiency and poise to his sound. Match that against the burning tenor sax of New York hotshot Sam Dillon and The Django stage is set for a serious duel!
