Third Sundays Jazz Series

Third Sunday Jazz Matinee & Workshop Series is on hiatus for the month of April. Third Sunday Jazz returns in May, featuring The Jazz Professor, Bill Bell. Bell, a native son has made the Quad Cities proud with his significant accomplishments in the world of jazz.

Polyrhythms Third Sunday Jazz Matinee and Workshops Series, is presented in the Redstone Room at the River Music Experience, the third Sunday of each month. Dedicated to providing high level affordable entertainment, these workshops and performances are designed to help demystify jazz music, as well as nurture, educate and inspire musicians and music appreciators alike.

The program features an all-ages workshop at 3 pm, which is hands-on and entertaining as well as educational is highlighted by examples, instruction and commentary on jazz and music from seasoned and well respected players who also excel at educating. It should be noted: Polyrhythyms considers the workshop portion of our program to be the most essential component. A matinee performance by these musicians, of the highest artistic quality, follows from 6-8 pm.

The Third Sunday Jazz Matinee and Workshop features top of the line “straight ahead” jazz players. The concept continues to grow around the notion that in order to fully appreciate jazz music and its nuances, we must understand the rules that govern jazz and how it is presented. Each month features additional insights as listeners learn or reconnect with the language of jazz music. The musicians demonstrate how this music is constructed from a playing as well as a listening standpoint.”

Admission to the workshop sessions is $3 for students & $5 for adults. General admission for the 6-8 PM performance is $15 or $20 for reserved seating, and tickets are available at the RME admissions desk, phone number 326-1333.
