US Army Jazz Ambassadors Free Concert
. The Allentown Village Initiative (TAVI) is excited to welcome back the U.S. Army’s Jazz Ambassadors for a free concert on Sunday, August 17, 2025. The concert will begin at 3 pm on the lawn behind Allentown Methodist Church, 23 Church Street and all are welcome – please bring a chair. In case of inclement weather, the concert will take place inside on the same date and time at Allentown High School, 27 High Street, Allentown, NJ 08501.
The Jazz Ambassadors, the U.S. Army’s premier big band, was formed in 1969 and is celebrated both nationally and internationally for performing America’s original art form—jazz. Known as “America’s Big Band,” this 19-member ensemble showcases versatile programming, including classic big band standards, solos, patriotic tunes, contemporary jazz, and original compositions by its members. Many of these works are available through their jazz education initiative, Perspectives.
The Jazz Ambassadors have performed across all 50 states and in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, and India, joining prestigious orchestras like the Boston Pops and National Symphony and appearing at major jazz festivals in Montreux, Newport, and Toronto. Their performance in Allentown is part of TAVI’s “Allentown Arts” series, made possible in part by a grant from Monmouth Arts, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the Monmouth County Board of Commissioners.
