Special Thanks to Connie Elaine Jones for sponsoring this traditional jazz offering.

Step off the beaten path and into the groove. Jazz Underground showcases boundary-pushing sounds, bold improvisation, and the raw energy of artists exploring the edges of the jazz tradition.

Step below the surface for an intimate night of genre-bending jazz with 9 Horses, the acclaimed trio led by mandolinist Joseph Brent, bassist Andrew Ryan, and violinist Sara Caswell. Known for their exquisite blend of chamber music sophistication, jazz improvisation, and cinematic warmth, 9 Horses creates soundscapes that are as daring as they are deeply human.

At its heart is the transformative practice of songwriting, a tool that empowers individuals to express themselves and build resilience.
