Jazz Underground

Whether it’s in reference to the subterranean clubs where legendary performers have traditionally honed their chops or to the lingo of the knowingly hip in-crowd, the underground tradition in jazz is an important and lasting part of that music’s history. For the third summer in a row, Jazz at Lincoln Center returns to its roots for a weekly rain-or-shine Jazz Underground Sunday concert series at Jaffe Drive under Josie Robertson Plaza. Curated by the unparalleled Jazz at Lincoln Center team, a handpicked selection of rising star instrumentalists and vocalists will congregate to delight audiences at this pop-up bar and performance stage.
