At the link in bio, Jack Bourdeaux (@jack.bourdeaux) takes us along to listen to live jazz in front of a closed garage door behind the Taylor Park Fieldhouse. As a dozen or so passerby stop to listen— one person even brings a lawnchair— Jack reflects on the magic that happens when music is embedded in public spaces. The pop-up concert is a part of the Red Line Jazz Project, a series of concerts in and around Chicago public transit stations organized by @mandalaartschi with @elevated_chi and @chicagocta. This piece is a part of Tuning Away from Mechanized Listening, which features music ecosystems of the Midwest to remind us that listening can be more than a passive, forgetful experience. ••• Image: A guitarist strumming, haloed in neon green rests upon a red line, and an image of a train heading towards 95th.

OH ART FOUNDATION × AACM  Before It Is Heard   Renee C. Baker’s solo exhibition produced by OH Art Foundation Performances by musicians of the AACM
(the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) @aacm_chicago Curated by InJung Oh @injungoh and Renée C. Baker Nov 20th - Dec 13th, 2026 Everything on these walls is music. Not a painting about music. Not an image inspired by a piece. Music, written down — in a language Renée C. Baker built herself, because the one she was handed could not hold what she needed to say.

On Thursday, October 1, the 79th anniversary of the CTA, we wrapped our final free Red Line Jazz Project performance at 95th/Dan Ryan with the Windy City Ramblers. It was a beautiful time together: commuters, neighbors, and musicians sharing the music right where the everyday rhythm of Chicago life happens. What a way to close out five months of live jazz along the Red Line, from Rogers Park to Roseland. 🚇 Next, the entire journey will come together for one magical night at Harris Theater. Join us on October 16th at 7:30 PM at Harris Theater for the Red Line Jazz Festival. Tickets are now 50% off (excluding VIP) with code RLJ50 Student tickets: • $10 student tickets with code STUDENTRDLJ • Up to 2 tickets per valid student ID, and the second ticket can be for a friend or family member who isn’t a student 🎟️ linked in bio Get yours today!

60 years ago, Black artists, writers, poets, performers, and philosophers came together to forge a vision of what Black life could become. Collectively, they breathed life into their vision, creating art movements and building institutions.
What does Black Power mean in a time of dwindling access and rising racism? We are seeking works that respond to the legacy of the Black Arts Movement, works that breathe life into a new vision for Black America while speaking our self-evident truths to power.
