About this event
Verve turns seventy and marks it in Central Park with a collaborative headline set from six-time Grammy winner Samara Joy and bassist Christian McBride. Mei Semones and friends - aron!, Liana Flores and John Roseboro - play music from Getz/Gilberto, the 1964 bossa nova album Verve released, and Sparklmami opens with a DJ set.
