The Dikeou Collection is pleased to announce the launching of the newly minted “Fresh Jazz and Crisp Vinyl Series,” on April 19th from 7:00-9:00pm at the Dikeou Collection, 1615 California St. This series aims to highlight local Jazz musicians and use the dialogue artist Devon Dikeou examines in her installation “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys” in 2011, to further explore the current forms of Jazz music.
The “Fresh Jazz and Crisp Vinyl Series” will focus on Jazz musicians living and working today, whose names are not yet embossed into history, but whose energy, wisdom, well worn instruments, and presence in the Jazz scene are further defining our admiration for this life form called Jazz music. Selections from the Vinyl Archive will thus serve as a remembrance to all the Jazz greats who came before the Jazz musicians we shall hear in this Series.
The first night of the series we will hosting the Denver-based quartet “Side Order” lead by frontman Michael Boykins at the Dikeou Collection located in the Colorado Building. In addition to this, we will be playing hidden Jazz gems found in our recently archived Vinyl Collection for your enjoyment.
