Jazz and Friends

Overview

Elvis and Issy both love jazz fusions, great conversations on a night out, and a buzzing dance floor, so they're hosting Jazz and Friends.

This is a chance to experience jazz in a social and uninhibited setting; not as background music or a seated concert, but as something rhythmic, open, communal and alive. We're cultivating a space that feels safe to be yourself as you're welcomed into a colorful new world for the night.

The lineup features Rush Hour 5 joined by MN Cappo, This Way Orkestra @6, and Garaújo; bringing together contemporary jazz, jazz-hop/hip-hop, afrobeat, afrofunk, ska, and minimal house fusions.

It will have live art from Thiago Claus creating an original work in response to the sights and sounds of the night. Please free to join him! Paint and open canvases for anyone to get inspired and immersed.

Expect a zero judgement environment and feel equally free to kick back on a couch while chatting with new and old friends, or dance your heart out on Blank's open air rooftop. Issy is a professional breakdancer and Elvis grooves like a newborn giraffe—they will both be equally enthusiastic on the dance floor.

Come by!
