Meet Dorthaan's Place, a cornerstone of Newark’s vibrant jazz scene. Recognized as Newark's First Lady of Jazz and awarded the NEA Jazz Master title in 2020 for extraordinary jazz advocacy, Dorthaan Kirk’s influence extends from performance to education and community engagement. Her ongoing club and festival appearances showcase a deep-rooted passion for jazz, particularly bop and post-bop styles, and a track record of collaborating with crossover artists across the New Jersey and tri-state area.

Beyond performance, Dorthaan's Place is best known as a monthly jazz brunch hosted in partnership with NJPAC at Nico Kitchen + Bar in Newark.
