Smooth Jazz
New York in association with Marquee Concerts is presenting another
star-studded contemporary jazz line up for New York City’s original Smooth
Cruise series, now in its 19th year. The 2016 summer season takes place aboard
the Hornblower Infinity, a 210-foot luxury yacht.
The cruises
set sail Wednesday evenings, July 13 through August 31. The summer’s roster
includes seven nights featuring more than a dozen of the world’s most popular
contemporary jazz and R&B acts in an intimate setting. With shows at 6:30pm
and 9:30pm, the Smooth Cruises depart promptly from Pier 40, located at Houston
Street at the West Side Highway and cruise down the Hudson River, offering
world-class artists as well as exceptional views of the Statue of Liberty, the
Freedom Tower, and the New York City skyline.
“It’s
great to be back on board the Hornblower Infinity with for our 2016 season,”
notes Bill Zafiros, co-founder of Smooth Jazz New York. “We’ve curated an
exciting array of jazz and R&B artists to perform this season with the
added perk of the breathtaking harbor views that have come to make the Smooth
Cruises so popular for almost two decades.”
