��The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill... The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I��ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids�� show.�� ��Nate Chinen, New York Times

��The lineup seems to get better every year at the Red Hook Jazz Festival, held on two successive Sundays at the Urban Meadow. These bands have widely varying instrumentation but a shared independent spirit, an ethic as purposeful and rigorous as it is experimental.�� ��David R. Adler, Village Voice

��Lemme tell ya, this is what makes Brooklyn Brooklyn, it really is.�� ��former Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz, proclaiming ��Red Hook Jazz Festival Day�� in Brooklyn at the 2012 RHJF
