Kyle Simpson Jazz Collective

This is a past event.

The Kyle Simpson Jazz Collective delves into the rich repertoire of established and treasured jazz to promote contemporary jazz, featuring music written by new artists.

The group draws from different styles/artists and pulls them into the jazz mix -among them Stevie Wonder, Radiohead, Bjork and Igor Stravinsky.

The ensemble can be a big band, an octet, a quintet, or a quartet, depending on the project, taking form to satisfy the demands each venue and the changing musical landscape. By juxtaposing the important work of time-honored jazz artists with that of the artists of tomorrow, the Kyle Simpson Jazz Collective demonstrates that jazz is a living, breathing, evolving art form that defies conventions and takes constant re-evaluation.

Open to the public. Admission is free.
