The “We Always Swing” Jazz Series in Columbia, Missouri kicked off its 27th season on October 23, 2021, with Jane Bunnett & Maqueque.
The Jazz Series will be back in action on Sunday, November 7th at 3:30pm and 7pm. The show is presented at Murry’s in Columbia. On November 7th the Emmet Cohen Trio appears at Murry’s and on December 5th We Always Swing will feature pianist Orrin Evans and his quartet. Both events are taking place at the Jazz Series’ home venue Murry’s which only seats 125, so if you want to go to a concert there, don’t wait to purchase your tickets.
A Columbia, MO institution, Murry’s has been bringing good food and jazz to Mid-Mo since 1985. They feature an eclectic menu, inviting atmosphere and loads of jazz.
When purchasing tickets for a show promoted by the We Always Swing Jazz Series, please ALWAYS check availability and book tickets at: www.wealwaysswing.org
These internationally known artists sell out quick. After a year of producing concerts with limited seating, often operating at a 30% capacity, the Jazz Series is excited to bring world-class jazz once again to mid-Missouri.
For those unfamiliar, the Jazz Series was founded in 1995, as a community-based, all-jazz, concert producing and educational organization, the Jazz Series’ mission remains as intact today as when the project first began.
The mission; To Present, Promote, Preserve and Celebrate the great art form known as “Jazz.” Over the 27 seasons the Jazz Series has presented more than 300 concerts featuring no fewer than 1,500 of the world’s greatest jazz artists. If you find yourself in Columbia, stop in their office at 21 N. Tenth Street and peruse their Von Freeman Library. The collection of more than 9,000 titles is free and open to the public.
Jane Bunnett & Maqueque played the annual Dr. Carlos & Laura Perez-Mesa Memorial concert October 23, 2021, at the Missouri Theatre. Each season the Jazz Series celebrates the rich musical tradition of Cuba by presenting Cuban artists or artists with strong ties to Cuba at the Perez-Mesa Memorial Concert.
