Mike Reed’s Common Good Dance Band w/ Katie Ernst (solo) and DJ Joe Bryl
About this Event
Chicago has always been a jazz city — from Louis Armstrong to Green Mill to the Jazz Festival — and this summer, WBEZ is celebrating that legacy with a free outdoor concert at Navy Pier.
On August 14th, Mike Reed's Common Good Dance Band takes the Lake Stage for an evening of soul-jazz drawn from the global canon: Expect deep cuts by Sun Ra, Duke Ellington and South African legends Dudu Pukwana, Johnny Dyani and Mongezi Feza. It's a set that honors jazz's past while bringing it to life for a new audience.
Local musician Katie Ernst (Iron & Wine) opens with a solo performance, plus DJ Joe Bryl spins a special set.
A limited number of event posters designed by Chicago-based illustrator Ryan Duggan will be available at the event.
Arrive early — entry is first-come, first-served. RSVPs do not guarantee entry and are subject to capacity.
