New Haven Jazz Festival Kicks Off Saturday

There will be Jazz on the New Haven Green on many of the Saturdays throughout the month. Here's a look at that schedule and a timeframe.

How Was The Show Last Night?

Salt N Pepa on The New Haven Green from New Haven Local Scene on Vimeo.



There was a jam-packed crowd on the New Haven Green last night for the 90's-acclaimed Rap group Salt N Pepa, who performed such hits for the crowd as "Push It," "Whadda Man" of course, "Shoop." Watch the video to see what it was like. Some interviews of the crowd at the end also highlight the overall atmosphere of the show.

The NHVMusic video team obtained some crowd footage, and tried to get the police officers to dance (but they wouldn't, although one did laugh with us). What was the best thing about it? Really, the diversity of people enjoying the music. People of all ages. Folks from all kinds of backgrounds. They asked a bunch of people why they came, and what they enjoyed about it. Watch the videos to hear what they had to say.

The 2:26 video at the top features the ambient music of DJ Shadow from 1994. The other shorter Instagram video was produced this morning in order to promote the upcoming 2:26 video which was released this evening.

The videos in this article were produced by The New Haven Local Music Scene.

Smilow Cancer Center - Closer To Free

The concert was presented by Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven, CT. Logistical support was provided by the city in terms of law enforcement presence and Parks Department support. The night happened completely without incident, other than the incidence of everyone having an amazingly good time. Proving, once again, that #Nhv just might be the greatest small city in America.

Music on the Green: Salt N Pepa

If you're down for some 90's rap music from the great legendary Salt N Pepa, tonight's the night they'll play on the New Haven Green... for free!  Show starts at 8 but it will probably be a pretty large crowd, so you might want to leave soon.

You can get parking for $5 in Temple Plaza via ParkNewHaven.
