The AfroJazz Experience is a journey through the timeless jazzy and soulful sounds that have been woven into today’s musical fabric. Inspired by the tradition of Sunday Jazz sets The AfroJazz Experience takes place in a setting similar to what may be described as a speakeasy and awakens the spirit of Jazz being played in the back rooms of many establishments back in the day. This experience is best served cool while sipping on a handcrafted cocktail and tapping your feet to the sounds of Nina Simone, John Coltrane, Donald Byrd, Fela Kuti, Sergio Mendes, Nicola Conte, Robert Glasper, Louie Vega and many more.
