Jazz is a language spoken everywhere — and it’s fluent in rhythm. Take a musical trip around the globe as the MMJO blends the syncopated heartbeat of swing with the colors and textures of world traditions. Latin jazz, Afro-Cuban beats, Caribbean grooves, and more will transport you to dance floors and street festivals far from Kansas City. It’s a night of high-energy, joy-filled music that proves jazz belongs to everyone, everywhere.

No tickets required — this performance is free and open to the public.
