Kamasi Washington and Ami Taf Ra

Kamasi Washington plays City Winery Chicago, sharing the bill with Ami Taf Ra. Washington is a saxophonist and bandleader whose work has helped define a modern jazz sound, often incorporating elements of funk, R&B, and hip-hop. Ami Taf Ra brings a blues and jazz perspective to the evening, setting a complementary tone for the double bill. This Friday, November 13, 2026 show at City Winery offers a sit-down concert experience. It's an opportunity for those interested in contemporary jazz and its intersections with other Black American music traditions to see two distinct artists in a more intimate setting.
