About this Event
Prior to the pandemic, DC was home to multiple late night sessions, notably Soto and Eighteenth Street Lounge, that emphasized contemporary jazz, new-soul, R&B and funk. These sessions served as after-parties for the local and touring music community to come together after their other gigs. All of those spaces have disappeared, and the city is in dire need for late night music and felllowship. Sessions at Art Of Noize will seek to fill vital holes in D.C.’s jazz and jazz adjacent communities.
Come out and hang with us as we embark on another evening of fellowship and fresh collaboration. Musicians and performers of all stripes welcome!
After a DJ set from the legendary Aphrosoul, DC's own Collective Crew will take over the sonic waves to build structure and sound inspired by the moment. The floor opens up around 7:30 to anyone willing to share their art with us, from MCs, to spoken word artists, to instrumentalists, to dancers, eventually folding these disparate voices into a harmonic fabric as the night weaves on.
The style of music depends on who is playing, but generally hews along jazz-adjacent lines, with roots in R&B, hip-hop, funk, gogo, and neo-soul. (in other words, not a lot of straight-ahead, but tons of everything else). If you know, you know! Most importantly - ALL ARE WELCOME.
The session is hosted by members of the Co//ect!v Crew.
