Founded as a collaborative art work in progress by Billy
Higgins and Kamau Daaood, The World Stage has grown into a
sacred space. Here, jazz occupies an important position within
the fabric of the community, and a jazz driven cultural revolution
continues to unfold around The World Stage. From Sunday to
Thursday, $5 gets you into workshops that run like informal jam
sessions. On a recent Sunday night, women served dinner from
the kitchen. Mondays still belong to drummers, that session formerly
run by Higgins. Tuesdays belong to vocalists, and
Wednesdays the Anansi Writers' Workshop convenes.
All About Jazz & Jazz Near You were built to promote jazz music: both recorded and live events. We rely primarily on venues, festivals and musicians to promote their events through our platform. With club closures, shelter in place and an uncertain future, we've pivoted our platform to collect, promote and broadcast livestream concerts to support our jazz musician friends. This is a significant but neccesary effort that will help musicians now, and in the future. You can help offset the cost of this essential undertaking by making a donation today. In return, we'll deliver an ad-free experience (which includes hiding the bottom right video ad). Thank you.
