Durham, North Carolina will once again play host to the Art of Cool Fest after breaking out in 2014 and growing in 2015 into a must-attend annual event for lovers of jazz, soul and progressive urban music and culture. Multiple venues in downtown Bull City will welcome a variety of artists to their stages. The lineup for 2016 sees some heavy-hitting newcomers and return engagements by musicians asked to come back by popular demand. Headlining the festival on Friday night will be jazz great Terence Blanchard featuring E-Collective and Saturday night's headliner is The Internet. Thundercat and Moonchild are returning for their second appearances at Art of Cool Fest and other artists announced to perform thus far include Kamasi Washington, Taylor McFerrin, Nicholas Payton and Marcus Strickland, Brandee Younger, Otis Brown III and Derrick Hodge who will command the Revive Music Stage.
