Miami, Florida — International Jazz Day (April 30th) at The Betsy Hotel is the culminating event for our 10th Annual Overture to Overtown (OTO) Jazz Festival, presented this year in celebration of National Jazz Appreciation Month (“JAM”) from April 1- April 30, 2022 on Miami Beach. International Jazz Day (April 30) at the Betsy begins with solo jazz pianist Brian Murphy in the Betsy Hotel lobby Salon from 11 AM to 4 PM. Headlining International Jazz Day is an appearance by legacy jazz pianist Danny Mixon with his Trio from 6 pm to 9 pm in the Betsy’s Lobby Salon. Opening for Mixon is spoken word artist Rebecca Butterfly Vaughns. The Aaron Burnett Trio will appear from 9 to midnight, in the same space. The Betsy will also feature an exhibition by Leonor Anthony entitled, SOUNDS OF FREEDOM. The exhibition celebrates Anthony’s collaboration with photographer Roberto Pollilo focusing on the transcendent nature of jazz and how it represents the hope of all free people. The hotel’s month-long program for Jazz Appreciation Month & 10th Annual Overture to Overtown Jazz Festival was co-produced by Carole Ann Taylor and Dr. Deborah Briggs, Betsy’s VP of Arts & Community and encompassed over 40 live performances. #jazzatthebetsy, #jazzday, #jazzappreciationmonth
