The Old Town School of Folk Music, in partnership with the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and the Jazz Institute of Chicago, presents a stellar night of jazz with two formidable Chicago acts.

Justin Dillard is a jazz organist who has been a mainstay in the Chicago Jazz scene performing with a myriad of artists and garnering the attention of our city’s top critics.
“A new generation of jazz improvisers has emerged in Chicago in recent years, but few are more promising than pianist/organist Justin Dillard” - Howard Reich - Chicago Tribune

Master percussionist, Art “Turk” Burton presents his tribute to the legendary Conga Square credited by many as the birthplace of jazz. Burton’s career in Chicago spans two decades and has been featured in many prominent jazz outfits including the AACM Great Black Music Ensemble.

This show is part of the Jazz Institute’s 26th Annual Jazz Club Tour.
