This outdoor series of shows served as our kickoff to live jazz, featuring a variety of the region’s top jazz musicians, to rock the stage at uptown Victoria Yards.

Her latest album, The Acoustic Project, is an eclectic collaboration with guitarist and songwriter Greg Cagle. This group will feature …. They will be performing ….
We are also excited to bring you Dreamroot, a Durham-based musical collective from Durham NC that combines pre-written and improvised sections, melding R&B forms with modern jazz solos that all fit nicely into the length of a longish pop song.” Dreamroot released their debut album Phases in May of 2020, hoping to put out positive energy during a dark time. Members: Theous Jones (drums), Serena Wiley (saxophone/flute/spoken word/vocals), Ittai Korman (acoustic and electric bass), Lynn Grissett (trumpet) and Joe MacPhail (piano and keyboards).
