What is jazz? Where did it come from? Who are its heroes? Join Wee the People for an interactive workshop to explore the history of jazz. Kids will swing, scat, and Story Time with a live jazz band!
Get ready to improvise, syncopate, and celebrate the genius and soul of Black folk who birthed America's music -- a sound of individual freedom and radical disruption.
This workshop is presented by Wee the People, a Boston-based social justice project for children ages 4-12.
