Jazz is the music and words of American culture, originating in the southern African American community. Jazz’s influence is felt in all aspects of American music, and often beyond our boarders. We are thrilled to be part of this tradition and helping people of all ages enjoy #livemusic. | | | The CJRO Septet: Love Songs from the Ladies of Jazz feat.

| Pat Bianchi’s New Release “Something to Say” The Music of Stevie WonderThursday & Friday, Feb. 3 & 4 - 7pm People can have mixed, and often controversial, emotions about a white musician playing a Black musician’s songs, but we thought it would be more insulting to leave a show that honors Stevie Wonder off of this list. |

Dilla Tribute by ManycolorsSaturday, Feb. 5 - 6:30pm & As with the Pat Bianchi shows, we know that people can have mixed, and often controversial, emotions about a white musician playing a Black musician’s songs, but we thought it would be more insulting to leave a show that honors J. Dilla off of this list. Plus, Madukes (J. Dilla’s Mom) officially endorsed this tribute show. |

| | | The Jack Hadley BandSaturday, Feb. 19 - 9:30pm Special Mention: This is one of two shows designed for Black History Month The Band will perform original music written by Jack Hadley from his latest release “Daybreak in Alabama- The Langston Hughes Project” and “The St. Louis Sessions.” Hadley wrote nine songs based on some of Hughes’ poems, changing his poetry into lyrics. Hughes wrote about his American experience as a Black man. These are poems based on universal themes- The Lord, History, Love, Redemption, and yes, Racism. Hadley amplifies his message through his music. Jack Hadley is a monster blues guitarist/singer with an amazing sum of influences: “North Mississippi drone blues-meets Jimi/BB/Albert/Curtis Mayfield/Marley filtered through- Haight Ashbury…” (Bob Lohr, producer, San Telmo Media). Jack Hadley (guitar, vocals), Bill Larson (drums), Bill Rich (bass) |

| | | | YouTube Archives: A Conversation About Race From the Dazzle Stage & Black Male Mental Health, Trauma and ResilienceLast summer, when our stages were closed to musicians, and the Black Lives Matter protests took over our streets and lives, Dazzle used its microphones and livestreaming equipment to bring a series of conversations into people’s homes. Those conversations are still available and still relevant today. We encourage you to take some time for self-reflection through them. | | | Due to the Nov. 24 Public Health Order, face coverings will be required in Denver for everyone aged 2 and older in all public, indoor spaces.
