Featuring music by trailblazers like Mildred Bailey and Jim Pepper alongside contemporary Indigenous composers, the ensemble delivers performances filled with charisma, passion, and purpose. Since premiering in 2022, JKIBB has quickly emerged as a powerful force in jazz, deepening and challenging our understanding of this uniquely American art form while headlining major stages including the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
