About Tammany Societies: Jazz music frees the mind and soul inspiring creativity. Tammany Societies bring together an inter-generational, multi-disciplinary group of cultural leaders in multiple fields to create a shared synergy of cultural exchange and to advance and influence the next artistic wave. The overall experience of the night will take you on a musical journey from the future to the past – starting with the next generation of sound and ending with Jazz Legends. The first set of the evening will highlight musicians who are innovating and redefining jazz and blues music for the next generation of listeners. While the second set will highlight the established craftsman of Jazz and Blues and bring the living legends into venues of current cultural happenings. The night will culminate with an inter-generational jam. This environment offers seasoned veterans a place to meet, perform and network, and presents up-and-comers with the opportunity to find mentors and learn from the originals. This will showcase the music and provide an informal gathering spot for artists and fans alike. Experience a cross-generational gathering of musicians, from former members of the Count Basie band to young prodigies, all sharing the stage together.
