Through a partnership with the Chicago Cultural Center, the Jazz Institute of Chicago 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, this week featuring pianist Ben Paterson, bassist Lorin Cohen, and drummer Makaya McCraven. Pianist Ken Chaney MCs and helps organized the young musicians into groups to perform together.
As a free event, the jam session is both an educational experience for the students and an inter-generational community event, where parents, teachers, students and the general public witness the development of young talent before their eyes and ears.
Come on out and hear the next generation of jazz talent in Chicago - and if you know any young musicians looking to meet jazz musicians their age and get a chance to play with some of the best talent in Chicago, tell them to bring their instrument.
All Jam Sessions take place from 5-7 PM at the Randolph St Cafe in the Chicago Cultural Center.
