About this Event
Celebrating Jazz : Arts, Culture & Community
They told us Jazz was born in New Orleans. They forgot to tell us where its soul was raised. Everyone knows Jazz is cool. But do you know where its rhythm comes from?
On April 30th, for our first International Jazz Month program, we’re taking you back to the root, with
- Short and fun documentary
- Live music
- Vinyl and Stories sessions
- And a journey through the DNA of the Blue Note.
If you want to understand today’s sound of Afro, traditional jazz and more, you have to hear origin sound.
Ever heard music by Fela Sowande? who is considered the "father of modern Nigerian art music,"? A pioneering jazz pianist and organist in the 1930s. How about trumpeter, composer and award-winning sounds of Hugh Masekela?
Wear your best Afro-urban /African inspired attire.
