JAZZ AIN'T DEAD Presents: The JAD Café is our set designed for smaller venues. Like the JAD Lounge, this set features intimate performances of our artists doing original songs composed exclusively for Jazz Ain't Dead and by our own Chris Rob and Teodross Avery, plus funky new arrangements of classic jazz, and top R&B covers re-imagined into a jazz-inspired sound. Please note that the JAD Café is not a full show like Standards on Steroids, Porgy & Bess, or Nu Soundz, Nu Grooves, but a low-key presentation with only two to four musicians and a select number of dancers.
| JAZZ AIN'T DEAD: Celebrates the Legacy of George Gershwin's Porgy & Bess is a live music concert that showcases all new versions of the internationally beloved music of Porgy & Bess.
