The Jazz Maui 2024 Maui Music Series presents the Fifth Annual Jazz Blues & Beyond Festival featuring professional musicians participating in concerts and student workshops at several island venues.

On Friday, June 28, 2024, Jazz Maui and the King Kekaulike High School Music Department present the Tadashi Thomas Quartet along with the Na Ali'i Big Band.

The Tadashi Thomas Quartet is composed of talented and gifted professional musicians coming to Maui directly from New York City where they are active in the jazz scene. Tadashi, originally from Haiku, Maui, and the members of the quartet - drummer Julian Miltenberger, pianist Caelan Cardello, and bassist AronCaceres - are all graduates of the best music schools in the country. They will leave audiences with an authentic experience of the best New York has to offer.

The Na Ali'i Big Band, one of Hawaii's premier ensembles for traditional and contemporary big band-style jazz and swing, is also appearing.
