From BloomBars (3222 11th St, NW):
“From Tuesday, June 14th-18th, BloomBars will host The Indigenous Arkestra – an all-star big band collaboration feat: Marc Cary, Tarus Mateen, Casey Benjamin, Brandon Woody, Lil Mickey, BJ aka “The Future,” YML, Jrok, with additional vocalists, Michelle Blackwell, Kacey, and Killa Cal. This is the first time The Indigenous will record or perform as a big band.
The residency was made possible by a grant from the South Arts – Jazz Road Creative Residencies, and presented by Intrinsic Artists Music. Marc’s inspiration and goal for the residency is to bring community-driven Go-Go culture in DC to a wider audience in the U.S. and internationally.

Opportunities for the public to watch and tune-in include: (more…)

“We’ve just decided to start offering limited day-of passes for Jazz in the Garden. We heard feedback about offering up another opportunity to register since the Friday before the concert release fills up so quickly [That registration still opens at noon one week before each concert]. The new day-of passes will go live every Friday 10am for that day’s concert.
More information on each performance is available at nga.gov/jazz.”
