Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington curate annual Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Kamasi Washington, Leon Bridges, Digable Planets and Samara Joy are among the artists slated to play the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival in June, the LA Phil announced on Thursday.

The annual two-day festival, formerly known as the Playboy Jazz Fest, will take place over Father’s Day weekend June 17-18. Tickets will go on sale March 14 when a full lineup will also be released at hollywoodbowl.com.

Co-curators for the 43rd annual event are iconic jazz pianist Herbie Hancock and Los Angeles’ jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington. While Washington will perform at the festival, Hancock will not, though he does have a concert set for April 2 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
