All ages welcome!
So where's a kid who really wants to hone his or her chops go to find a woodshed? How about at the city's top spot for jazz and world music?
Through a partnership with the Chicago Cultural Center, Jazz Links has initiated a monthly jam session for young jazz musicians in Chicago. Students are given the opportunity to perform with world-class professionals in the Jazz Links house band, led by pianist Ken Chaney, with Robert Irving III on piano, Ernie Adams on drums and Lorin Cohen on bass. As a free event, the jam session is both an educational experience for the students and an intergenerational community event, where parents, teachers, students and the general public witness the development of young talent before their eyes and ears.

This is what our community, particularly the African American community needs to further our creative abilities in the music arts, and expand our exposure & appreciation to music created and performed with real instruments, paricularly to this generation of music lovers.
