There are few sweeter ways to celebrate Black History Month than with jazz. Still the gold standard for Black excellence in the arts, jazz is arguably one of the greatest gifts ever bestowed on American culture. Actually, no, that’s a fact not up for debate at all. And to honor it, the monthlong, jazz-heavy Timucua Amplifies Black Voices series launches this week with two shows.
On Friday, Feb. 13, Jeremiah Hunt-led Chicago combo K.I.M. will kick it off hot with their merge of jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, R&B and rock. The next night, the Assel Jean-Pierre Trio will drop a dazzling jazz blend led by piano virtuoso and UCF alum Assel Jean-Pierre Jr. The TABV series has even more lined up, so keep up with Timucua’s calendar.
7:30 p.m. Thursday-Friday, Feb. 13-14, Timucua Arts Foundation, timucua.com, $22.50-$30.
