Jazz 101 · Free Educational Series

Ever wonder, wait... are they still playing the same song? Curious why the crowd erupts in applause after a solo?

IJF Artistic Director Rob Dixon shows how jazz works and how (and why) we chose this year's IJF26 line-up.

Discussion led by saxophonist Rob Dixon, with Steven Jones (piano),  Jesse Wittman (bass), and Kenny Phelps (drums) — plus a first look at why this year's Indy Jazz Fest artists made the lineup.

No musical experience necessary ... Just bring your ears and your curiosity.
