2025-26 BKCM Jazz Leadership Fellow Alexandria DeWalt hosts an evening of live music and conversation exploring Black musical traditions through the ages and across borders.
DeWalt and a quartet featuring fellow jazz luminaries Marcus Grant, Mimi Jones, and Camila Cortina will give a special performance spanning the tradition of Black spirituals, compositions by Black women composers, and her own original music.
