it helps remove odors 3x better than detergent alone. it worked guys! ♪yeahhhh♪ downy rinse and refresh. announcer: hey, bay area. it's time to share some amazing stories and feel good. we could all use some inspiration right now, and you've come to the right place. this show is all about good food, good people, and good living. on today's show, painting the sky... elevating voices... innovating skincare... embracing unique talents. but first, celebrating food, wine, and music in napa. [music] robert glasper: the blue note jazz festival is something unique. it is the family reunion of musical icon-ism and love.
1:39 am
alex kurland: it's about artists joining forces to create special moments and stuff that you can't replicate or see anywhere else. it's very exclusive to these special moments that we curate and that we care a lot about. robert: so, this is the blue note napa jazz festival, our second annual year, and it's like a festival with different artists who basically were inspired by jazz. so, there's jazz bands here, but there's also other kinds of music here-- hip-hop, r&b, rock, soul, blues, all kinds of things that are inspired by jazz as well. so, jazz is the spine of it all, but you have all kinds of acts, like chance the rapper, nas, mary j. blige, pj morton, lalah hathaway. this is our second year doing it here in napa. dave chappelle hosted. i'm the artist in residence, so i play every day, and dave helps my set. this started with my residency at the blue note jazz club that i do every october.
1:40 am
and dave comes through and hosts sometimes with me. and we wanted to take that concept and bring it to a bigger stage. so, we have this festival here where it's a lot of people, but at the same time, it doesn't feel like a lot of people, and it feels more intimate. alex: it's a three-day, three-stage festival. we have lots of activations and events going on. it's a smaller scale, smaller capacity, and it's a boutique kind of festival. the spirit of the festival mirrors the culture and the artistry of blue note jazz club in new york. here, you're gonna see something that you've never seen before ever. you're gonna see certain artists perform together that you've never seen, and probably will never see again. and i try to curate those kind of things. like, "oh, that person's on that stage? "maybe after this, they can come over to this stage and jump on with us, and then they can go over here." you know, so i try to create these moments in the moment, which is what the spirit of jazz is as well. [harmonica playing] how does it feel for you to be performing here? well, i'm excited to be back. i'm one of the few performers who were here for the first edition last year.
1:41 am
and this year, the festival has gotten so much bigger, so much better. kumasi: what do you think makes this festival so special? frederic: i think the fact that we are already a community of musicians who work together and record with one another, and experiment together. the fact that we're all here on the same compound, and it's so free, and we have three stages we can just play with. they are like our-- basically our playground. so, this is really-- this is really special, the fact that we're gonna have so many spontaneous interactions and jam sessions with one another. that's great with me. robert: there's more than just music here, there's great wine. we have some amazing independent wine companies here. we have some amazing chefs here with amazing food. kumasi: what made you really wanna come out here to the blue note jazz festival? well, we were invited. i had seen so much from blue note last year, i was incredibly excited about its return for the second annual. and i just wanted to be a part of this. and we're super excited to be here in napa at the festival. we're sharing three or four out of our 10 wines
