Selby Avenue Jazz Festival
Since 2002, the Selby Avenue Jazz Festival has been a free gift to St. Paul. Started by Golden Thyme proprietors Mychael and Stephanie Wright, the fest is now run by Walker West Music Academy. And once again the Selby fest will feature a stellar musical lineup, headed by Cory Henry, who grabbed a Grammy this year for best gospel roots album. Performing with his group the Funk Apostles, the former Snarky Puppy keyboardist is known for his eclectic sounds that embrace funk, jazz, gospel and R&B. Also slated for the Selby fest are the Yuko Mabuchi Trio, Heyarlo, Brio Brass, Walker West Jazz Ensemble and, of course, the Selby Avenue Brass Band. (11 a.m.-7:30 p.m. outdoors, Selby & Milton, St. Paul. Free, selbyavejazzfest.com)
