The series will feature local jazz, reggae and R'n'B artists and will be hosted by TV personality and musician Kym Swain.

Singer and multi-instrumentalist  Bart Tesoriero will kick off "Soul Sets" on Tuesday, April 16. The Brooklyn native has gained notoriety for his jazz-, folk- and gospel-infused soul sounds. Mainly an acoustic act, his music is reminiscent of artists like John Legend, Allen Stone, Donny Hathaway, Robert Glasper and Ray Lamontange.

As Walcott shared, Fusion East will also be participating in the Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival on April 30. Presented by the Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium, the festival will present several site performances and opportunities for the community to embrace the tradition of jazz from a local and global perspective.

A complete lineup of performances at East Fusion will be finalized in the coming weeks.
