Emily Kuhn Quintet at Jefferson

The Emily Kuhn Quintet brings a program of original jazz to Jefferson Memorial Park on Monday evening, August 17, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The group features a lineup of Chicago improvisers on trumpet, piano, guitar, bass, and drums, and they’re celebrating the release of their new album “Feathered Things,” which explores themes of hope and resilience. Kuhn and her band have played festivals from Champaign-Urbana to Stanford, making this a solid free option for a weekday evening in the park.
