Melody Gardot, Christian McBribe, & Lizz Wright (T, R-L), Performing @ the Kimmel in October

This October, you have plans. In several don’t-you-dare-miss concerts, the Kimmel Center is proving that Philadelphia’s jazz scene can still pack a concert hall.

Sure, remnants still remain from Philly’s former treasure chest of jazz clubs. We’re fortunate enough to still have Natalie’s Jazz Lounge and Ortlieb’s Jazzhaus. But the Kimmer Center’s jazz series will spotlight Philadelphia-born jazz luminaries on a well-deserved major stage, from bass virtuoso Christian McBride (with Grammy Award-winning pianist Bruce Hornsby) on Oct. 16 to vocalist Melody Gardot on Oct. 17 to the Lizz Wright and Danilo Pérez Trio (in tribute to legendary Billie Holiday) on Oct. 10.
