Jazz jam sessions have long been the place where musicians gather to connect, perform together, and hone their skills. Historically, jam sessions take place after-hours in the clubs, making it impossible for student musicians to participate. The Jazz Links Jam Session creates a live performance opportunity where student musicians can learn, grow, and connect with their jazz community.

This program features the history and lineage of Walter Henri Dyett, or “Captain Dyett”, who was an instrumental figure in the development of jazz and black music in Chicago.
