Their debut album introduced a signature sound that blends traditional jazz with contemporary influences. \nAfter lineup changes in the early years\, the group solidified as a quartet\, continuing to refine its identity through recordings such as New York Voices Sing the Songs of Paul Simon. Over the decades\, they have released ten studio albums and collaborated with leading artists and ensembles\, including the Count Basie Orchestra\, Paquito D’Rivera\, and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. \nIn addition to performance\, New York Voices has made a lasting impact through education\, launching a Vocal Jazz Camp in 2008 and maintaining active roles as educators at institutions including Berklee College of Music and New York University. \nAfter nearly four decades of touring and recording worldwide\, New York Voices has announced plans to retire in 2026\, concluding a career defined by artistry\, collaboration\, and enduring influence. \nLISTEN TO NEW YORK VOICES URL:https://jazzaspensnowmass.org/event/new-york-voices-late/ LOCATION:Paul JAS Center\, 422 E Cooper Ave\, Aspen\, CO\, 81611\, United States CATEGORIES:JAS Café ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://jazzaspensnowmass.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/New-York-Voices-scaled-VV8EUC.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Jazz Aspen Snowmass":MAILTO:jazzaspen@jasaspensnowmass.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260818T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260818T210000 DTSTAMP:20260619T033439 CREATED:20260521T174323Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260616T213531Z UID:10006798-1787072400-1787086800@jazzaspensnowmass.org SUMMARY:JAS Community Night - Local Showcase - Jaidyn Hurst & Writers Round w/ Inspire Aspen Students DESCRIPTION:Local Music at the Paul JAS Center – Free Admission!Every Tuesday\, we’re turning the spotlight on locals and community members! \nDoors at 5pm \nWriters Round w/Inspire Aspen Students – 5:30pm \nJaidyn Hurst – 7pm \nJoin us for a beautiful performance from local musician Jaidyn Hurst! Enjoy food and drink specials\, and a night of great music. \nJaidyn Hurst is a twenty-one-year-old American singer-songwriter from Aspen\, CO\, who has been writing her own music since her early teen years. She released her debut EP\, Seasons in 2022 at age seventeen\, after recording some of her original music in Nashville\, TN. The three songs led her to be discovered by Joel Kipnis of Pulse Music in New York City where she finished a ten-song LP and a six song EP with original songs by Jaidyn\, ultimately distributed through Sony Orchard. Jaidyn has had the opportunity to work with Grammy- award winning producer Khris Riddick-Tynes and separately with producers Kari Kimmel and Jackson Hoffman\, with whom she recorded “Love Me Like I Need\,” a song featured in the Netflix movie “The Wrong Paris.” \nJaidyn is a rising senior at Yale University\, pursuing a B.A. in Humanities and Political Science\, where she and her brother Jared Hurst are members of the Yale record label\, 1701. She has performed in Nashville\, Colorado and Connecticut\, both as a solo artist and together with her brother at public and private events. \nThough Jaidyn started playing piano and guitar as a young child\, she considers singing and songwriting as her main strengths. Her music and lyrics are deeply personal\, a reflection of her inner self\, a voice to her vulnerabilities and life’s pressures. Relatable to both young and wise souls\, her music illuminates the angst\, passions\, and aspirations of her generation. You can follow her on Spotify (Jaidyn Hurst)\, Instagram (@jaidynhurstmusic)\, TikTok (@jaidynhurstmusic) and visit her webpage (jaidynhurst.com). \n  URL:https://jazzaspensnowmass.org/event/jas-community-night-local-showcase-w-jaidyn-hurst/ LOCATION:Paul JAS Center\, 422 E Cooper Ave\, Aspen\, CO\, 81611\, United States CATEGORIES:JAS Center ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://jazzaspensnowmass.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_5881-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260825T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260825T210000 DTSTAMP:20260619T033439 CREATED:20260428T134950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260428T192044Z UID:10006792-1787677200-1787691600@jazzaspensnowmass.org SUMMARY:JAS Community Nights - Open Mic Night DESCRIPTION:Open Mic Night at the Paul JAS Center!  \nEvery Tuesday\, we’re turning the spotlight on locals and community members!
