Blue Note Entertainment Group and Black Radio Productions have unveiled the lineup for the inaugural Black Radio Experience, presented by Blue Note Jazz Festival, hosted by Sway Calloway. 

The three-day festival, inspired by its artist-in-residence Robert Glasper, will take place from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 at The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, California. John Legend, Jill Scott, and André 3000 are billed as the festival’s headliners.
