1901 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1189

ADMISSION IS FREE.

The Mysterious Travelers are back!!! After their magnificent, One Book - Reportperformance in July 2018, the Mysterious Traveler All Stars take the stage once again at the Montgomery Auditorium at the Parkway Central Library in Center City, Philadelphia.

The Mysterious Traveler All Stars are a natural and logical outgrowth of the Mysterious Traveler Concert Series. Back in early 2014, Leo Gadson of Producers Guild, Adam Feldman of the Free Library of Philadelphia and Homer Jackson of the Philadelphia Jazz Project met to discuss a new concert series. It was called the Mysterious Traveler Concert Series. The series presented monthly concerts from September through May, showcasing young and not so young, Philadelphia Jazz artists. The name of the series emphasized the need for these highly talented artists and the general public to get acquainted, making these strangers no longer mysterious, but friends and fans. Probably most important, these concerts were be free to the general public. You didn't have to be a hipster or a Jazz expert to attend. You just had to show up and enjoy yourself.

The upcoming concert features a unique musical ensemble, comprised of stellar artists who have performed in the four year old Mysterious Traveler Concert Series: a collaboration between the Free Library of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Jazz Project. This concert series showcases the composing and musical artistry of Philadelphia Jazz musicians. The concert will revisit some of that cutting-edge and challenging music that the group performed last summer, as well as some original music by members of the band, written specifically for their own Mysterious Traveler concerts.
