JazzArts Charlotte and Curtis Davenport welcome guests and our virtual audience for a very special conversation on the connection between music and society, yesterday and today.

Tune in Tuesday nights to discover outstanding musicians, past and present, regional and international. Our interactive events are the perfect chance for you to engage with the artists who are usually up on the stage.

Special guest Nicholas Payton is a Grammy winning American trumpet player who created the #BAM movement (Black American Music) that encompasses a variety of genres including jazz fusion. He is a prolific and provocative writer on the subject of music, race, politics and life in America. www.nicholaspayton.com .
