Tonight at Wingate Park, the MLK Concert Series presents Jill Scott. Presented by Marty Markowitz’s office and produced by my friend, Debby Garcia, this is the 26th season of this series, which is on every Tuesday evening between July 14th and August 25th, the series attracts both big-name acts and enthusiastic crowds. All shows are Free. Guests are encouraged to bring folding chairs, as seating is limited.

Shows begin at 7:30PM.

Wingate Field does not allow cameras, audio OR video recording, alcohol, pets, bottles, or smoking at the concerts. Because performers are subject to change, call the concert hotline for updates at 718-222-0600. The following is a blurb from today’s New York Times.

Jill Scott gets around. At Madison Square Garden last New Year’s, opening for Chris Rock, she sang “hip-hop, jazz and opera, none of it a stretch for her,” wrote Kelefa Sanneh. That was after a trip to Botswana, where she shot a pilot for a coming television adaptation of Alexander McCall Smith’s “No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” books. Tomorrow she’s at Central Park SummerStage, but for those who just can’t wait — or who just won’t leave Brooklyn — she gives a free performance tonight at Wingate Field in East Flatbush, in a little gem of a concert series, presented by the borough president’s office, that books some surprisingly huge names. Don’t be late — Lauryn Hill’s show last summer was packed.
