About the event
Meet the Artists Shaping the Future of JazzApril 23, 2026 | Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts
Join us for Soundscapes in Conversation, a rare opportunity to go inside the creative minds of five extraordinary artists in residence for the Clef’s Soundscapes for Tomorrow: Stage One Residencies. This dynamic public conversation brings audiences face-to-face with the artists as they discuss new works in development, artistic lineage, cultural identity, and the ideas shaping the future of jazz.
Facilitated by Brent White, Valerie Gay, and Gerald Veasley, the evening offers an intimate, engaging exchange that invites the community into the creative process—before the music ever reaches the stage.
Meet the Clef’s Soundscapes for Tomorrow resident artists:
Papo Vázquez – NEA Jazz Master and Afro-Caribbean trombonist
Miguel Zenón – MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellow saxophonist and composer
