Kennedy Administration (USA) • Jazzkaar 2026

Kennedy Administration isn't just making music; they're ushering in a new era of sonic brilliance crossing and fusing multiple genres together with jazz and outstanding solos and vocals. Kennedy Administration is driven by the two masterminds: the charismatic powerhouse singer, Kennedy, and her musical partner and producer extraordinaire Ondre J (a longstanding collaborator of Gregory Porter). Their enthsiasm and passion are contagious, promising an immersive journey into a world where every note is a celebration. Feel the magnetism and infectious joy!

Kennedy, whose musical journey began in her grandfathers small church in Michigan has become a force to be reckoned with in the New York music scene. She grew up with few limits on her listening. Everyone from Anita Baker to Ella Fitzgerald, Sade to Michael Jackson and Prince, Kennedy heard and embraced. Since moving east, she has worked with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Terri Lynn Carrington, Christian McBride, among others — her calling card a powerhouse soulful Jazz voice that combines great influences with character all its own.

Kennedy Administration was born in New York. Based in Brooklyn, the band has released two albums – their self-titled debut Kennedy Administration (2017) and Second Term (2023). They have since conquered some of the world’s biggest jazz stages, and now it’s their turn to captivate the Estonian audience.
