 Jazz Institute of Chicago Presents Jazz Links Jam Sessions

Through a partnership with the Chicago Cultural Center, the Jazz Institute of Chicago has initiated a monthly jam session for young jazz musicians in Chicago. Students are given the opportunity to perform with world-class professionals in the Jazz Links house band, led by pianist Ken Chaney, with Robert Irving III on piano, Ernie Adams on drums and Lorin Cohen on bass.

 As a free event, the jam session is both an educational experience for the students and an intergenerational community event, where parents, teachers, students and the general public witness the development of young talent before their eyes and ears. Young musicians looking to meet jazz musicians their age and get a chance to play with some of the best talent in Chicago are encouraged to bring their instruments and jam.
