*R&B legend Stokley, the singer and drummer of the iconic, self-contained ensemble Mint Condition, will be among the tremendous line-up of performers at the 2022 Jazz In The Gardens kicking off this weekend n South Florida.

Blige, Rick Ross, SWV, The Roots with special guest T-Pain and Stokley’s amazing new ensemble.
Each year, since 2005, Jazz In The Gardens (JITG) a musical extravaganza, has taken place in Miami Gardens, a city in north-central Miami-Dade County Florida. Stokley, one of the featured acts on stage in the highly touted JITG concert is, shall we say, “stoked” about performing for the outdoor event.
“My favorite shows are outside,” said Stokley, when asked about performing outdoors in Miami. “The sound resonates to whoever can hear it. There’s nothing for the sound to bounce off of, so everybody can hear everything like crystal clear. As many people that can get in the Garden the better. This will be the second time I’m performing at Jazz In the Garden, the first was with Mint Condition. I’m excited for two reasons- as a soloist second, but first I’m just excited to get out because of 2020, so I’m glad to be out to play in front of people, spectators are glad to be out to enjoy the music, so that’s first and foremost.”
