An Special Evening of Jazz, Community & Connection

Jazz Forward Dayton invites you to a special Popup Jazz Jam featuring New York City drummer Cedric Easton! He is bringing along some of the top jazz artists in the country today, in Kenny Banks Jr. and Anthony Hervey. You do NOT want to miss this rare opportunity to catch these masters in an informal jam setting, and if you play an instrument, to sit alongside them and make music!

Musicians of all ages and experience levels are welcome. Students are especially encouraged to bring their instruments, sit in with the musicians, and experience the energy of playing jazz in a live setting. Whether you’re ready to take the stage or simply want to enjoy the music, there’s a place for you.

In the spirit of making jazz accessible to everyone, this event will be offered on a Pay What You Want basis. Your contribution supports Jazz Forward Dayton’s mission to create meaningful opportunities for musicians to learn, perform, and connect while inspiring the next generation of jazz artists.
