Might as well make this an official series...y'all know who you are.
The Jazz Bakery is in transition but that does not mean that the music has to stop! They are presenting a Moveable Feast series across the Southland. Get ready for ONE SHOW ONLY of some of the finest avant-guarde jazz on the planet. One of the things I miss about Chicago is the AACM, but I am fortunate enough to be good friends with one of their exquisite, and now LA local artists, Maia. But go get your dose! Kahil is no joke!

Vincent Matsoe, Gregory Maqoma’s (see below) close colleague and oft collaborator from South Africa will be presenting his "San" at REDCAT.
