The show was great, the Coliseum I think could be freshen up. The staff was great
I went to Saturday and Sundays Show . The Best show was Sunday in my opinion. I think the Saturday shows should be earlier like Sundays Show . That way people can venture out after the show and enjoy the night . Charlie don’t need to come back and neither does Babyface! Please get some more singers .
Charlie Wilson Gave Upfront & Personal ..Avery Sunshie Gave Soulful And Inviting.. Overall Great Show
I went to all three nights and the 2023 JAZZFEST did not skip a beat. My thanks to all that made it possible. Job well done!
Had a great time, there should have been a MC during all the intermissions.
there needs to be merchandise for ALL performers. there wasn't any march for Peter white or Kenny g on Sunday's lineup, which I find unbelivealbe. also, the food was just junk food, I feel like a festival should have something fun and unique. There should be more interactive stations or things to do.
I attended the Sunday shows and was blown away by Peter White, Kenny G. And Babyface. They all gave excellent shows. Their stage presence and interaction with the audience was phenomenal. I’m still in awe of their performances. Fantasia was awful. I’ve seen her live before and she’s been fabulous but not Sunday, 6/25. Maybe she was hot in that outfit but her music was too loud. It was difficult to hear her. At one point she said it’s hot. I was not impressed at all and actually left early because It was a waste of my time to stay. I was very disappointed. She kept talking about rachet???? How was that applicable at a Jazz Festival with mostly an older crowd.
Very nice place. Plenty of help to get to your seats. Food was good. Overall nice event. Plan ahead, get there early and enjoy! Oh and wear flats! Lol or comfy heels. Parking was horrible! But manageable.
I've been following Chris Botti and his band since 2005 and he never fails to do a wonderful job.His music is amazing.
What a great celebration to say the HJF is back! Artist lineup was amazing and the energy inside was evident! Already planning for the 54th Celebration! “Welcome Back HJF”
I enjoyed the Hampton Jazz festival and the artist.The African American Heritage Festival which was Saturday, was a added bonus...Two suggestions more day parties or venues, suggested by locals for a night club scene after the event. Charlie Wilson to me was tired and didn't perform his best, he should sit out next year..overall everyone I met during my stay in Hampton was very approachable and friendly..
The lineup for this year's festival was Great! I didn't think the headline entertainers were giving their best performance though i.e. Anthony Hamilton, Charlie Wilson and Fantasia, I have seen all 3 in concerts and they were much better.
I had a great time overall!!! This was my first time attending the Hampton Jazz Festival but my 2nd time seeing Charlie Wilson perform. I wish that there was better merchandise to purchase like tshirts, keychains, etc. I would like to have had a shirt just to say Hampton Jazz Festival.
The line ups were ok but the combinations seem off. More jazz artist would truly make it a jazz festival. The seats in the Coliseum are very uncomfortable and old. The seats are also too close together. People were crammed in together and unable to move. The audience runs to the front and stands in front of others for most of the concert. I will not be attending any future Jazz Festivals there.
We loved it!! My husband loved Kenny G. This was a surprise retirement gift. Everyone was amazing. We can’t wait until next year.
The music was to loud for Babyface and you couldn't hear him over the music. It was 11 in my group and we all felt the same way. Thanks
The crowd size was a good sign everyone longed to get back to the festival after the three-year hiatus due to Covid-19 pandemic. Sunday’s show did not disappoint. Peter White, Kenny G, Babyface, and Fantasia were all fantastic! Looking forward to next year.
Kenny G is amazing and always have been. I didn’t know Babyface wrote so much music for different artists. He performed the hits better than the original artist Fantasia is amazing, she definitely put on a great performance.
2023 Hampton Jazz Festival was awesome and looking forward 10 2024. Artists were absolutely outstanding. My favorites Kenney G, Peter White, Trombone Shorty, Babyface to name a few. The coliseum needs to be more ADA compatible. Overall, we had a great time!!!!
The event was organized & the staff were very helpful! Ticketmaster made accessing the tickets easy as well!
