The Chicago Jazz and Heritage Program, collaboration between the Chicago Park District and the Jazz Institute of Chicago began in 1997. It seeks to connect people from all backgrounds and generations to the musical and spiritual legacy of jazz in Chicago, and to make the music accessible to all. Two programs support this goal. JazzCity; aseven concert-and-workshop series that presents four distinct styles of jazz music (Bebop, Big Band, Latin Jazz and Free Jazz) and travels to neighborhood parks all over the city. Crepuscule, a multi-disciplinary performance and series of community-based workshops, brings youth, professionals, artists and residents together to experience different cultures.
