An intergenerational ensemble ranging in size from three to thirty pieces, Great Black Music Ensemble performs historical repertoire from the great pool of AACM composers, led by Ernest Dawkins. The GBM Ensemble carries on the legacy of Chicago's South Side creative music that made its place on the music history map by expressing the excitement of new sounds and rhythms, while invigorating the traditions of black music including funk, reggae, bebop, swing, and African and Caribbean styles. The GBM Ensemble can augment concert performances with lectures and/or workshops on creative music, AACM history, improvisation, the Chicago jazz tradition, and more. #workonthesabbath #jazz #currencyexchangecafe #gbme #jazz #funk #soul #bebop #chicagomusic #rebuildfoundation #magic #blackboyjoy #blackgirlmagic #blackmusic #goodfood #goodmusic #livemusic #improvisation #collaborativeart

Work on the Sabbath featuring Nola Ade (@nolaade) - BING | 307 East 55th Street January 28 | 3 - 6p - As a first generation Nigerian American, the Chicago native is the embodiment of the immigrant spirit of hope and optimism. Having experienced the best of both worlds, the duality of growing up Nigerian in America is reflected in her unique musical expression that blends her rollicking melodies with her approach to tackling soul with conviction. Ade’s music and message honors the traditions of the past, being unafraid of the present, and unapologetically blends the past and present to create a harmonious future. Join us Sunday for spins from Mr. JayToo (@thedjyomamaluv) and music from Nola and Yaw. #nigerian #singer #soul #funk #goodmusic #firstgeneration #workonthesabbath #rebuildfoundation #blackgirlmagic #currencyexchangecafe #sunday #happyhour #goodfood
