July 5, 2025 celebrates 5 years of Almost Nakey Freedom Fest 100 years of Belmont Park, 248 years of America! BREAKING NEWS Nakey found a scroll from the founding fathers. The message inside tells of the first explorers voyage for this land. The ultimate goal: FIND FREEDOM (FEST). As the explorers docked the ship on the sand along Mission Beach, they gasped, as Mount Ravemore towered above them the neon American flag 🇺🇸 LED wall lured them into the rave like a beacon of hope, lighting up the free world. A new genre of music hypnotized the explorers into the center of the dance floor. They began twerking - a dance move unfamiliar to them. A rapper took to the stage, as Co2 cannons exploded into the sky, and the explorers knew they had discovered the American dream. Let us fulfill the greatest wishes our founding fathers set out for us. We must remind the USA what a real Fourth of July party looks like. Freedom Fest 2025 brings the biggest lineup we have ever had, massive production, a 70ft inflatable eagle - we’re landing it right on the mainstage.

The winter series opens on Sunday, January 26, with the return of celebrated Venezuelan pianist-composer-arranger Edward Simon, joined by his longtime trio members bassist Reuben Rogers (also known for his work with Charles Lloyd) and drummer Adam Cruz (also known for his work with Danilo Pérez). Simon’s last Athenaeum performance as a leader was with his project Femeninas: Songs of Latin American Women, which featured vocalist Magos Herrera. He returns to the library to celebrate the release of a new trio album, Latin American Songbook, vol. 2, which has a special focus on the Afro-Caribbean musical traditions of his native Venezuela. Simon is well known to Athenaeum audiences from his high-energy performance last summer with guitarist-vocalist Camila Meza and past appearances with the SFJAZZ Collective and the Steel House trio with Scott Colley and Brian Blade. JazzTimes commented, “[Simon] may be the most complete creative artist … among many important jazz pianists from the Caribbean and South America.” DownBeat commented, “One of the strongest pianists of his generation, with intuitive empathy and drum-like ingenuity, Simon solos compositionally with passionate elegance.” Visit: https://www.ljathenaeum.org/events/jazz-25-0126 Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Instagram and Facebook
