🌟 JUST ANNOUNCED - BACK TO BACK SHOWS 🌟 9/25: Space is the place! The Sun Ra Arkestra (@sunraarkestraofficial ) are known worldwide for their live shows that combine big-band swing, space-age free jazz, be-bop, singing, dancing, chanting and Afro-pageantry. The Arkestra has been at the forefront of Afro-futurism since their inception. They have recorded more than 100 albums. Their newest album “Lights On A Satellite” was released in February 2025 and has received a Grammy nomination for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. After more than 60 years the band continue to circle the globe on their Inter-Galactic tour. Few bands have travelled this far – cosmically and musically. Tickets are already moving, so grab them before they run out! Link in bio ✨

Chicago's own @jetsah , an artist and master screen printer since the 90s. Scratchboard drawings translated to screenprint. Think stark contrasts, almost woodcut-like, with a gritty Chicago soul. These aren't posters, they're collectible artifacts! ✔️Peter Brötzmann, Hamid Drake & @littlehueymusic Trio at @constellationchicago in 2014, beautiful beige heavy stock matte paper, printed in two colors. 🔺 Get this very limited and now extinct screen print signed by Dan at the Link in Bio — Limited edition of 100, but just a few are left... #chicago #dangrzeca #poster #screenprint #peterbrötzmann

💫 COMING UP 💫 5/6: The compositions of Colleen, aka multi-instrumentalist Cécile Schott (@colleenplays ) are as richly varied as they are precise. Each of Colleen’s albums are shaped by her predetermined distinct instrumentation and parameters, including works composed entirely of music boxes, pocket synthesizers, and baroque stringed instruments. Libres antes del final is an album that reaches for the hope and desire to be truly freed from unnecessary suffering and harmful thoughts before reaching the end of one’s life cycle.
