Jazz Postcards 2020

There’s something special about receiving a postcard in the mail! Postcards are reminders that someone is thinking of you while they are away. They express joy, but also longing: Wish you were here! 

Postcards are short and, at times, bittersweet. At a time when we all wish we could be together, the Hyde Park Jazz Festival has invited more than 30 jazz musicians to send musical postcards to a community of their choosing. Each artist has selected a location and a time to play for 30 minutes on four dates this summer (July 25th, July 30th, August 14th, and August 23rd of 2020).

On each of these dates, listen for the sounds of these postcards across Chicago! We are not advertising the locations in order to keep gatherings small, but you can find hints here and there, and may wind up crossing paths with these pop-up programs.

Miss you!

Wish you were here!

Love,

Hyde Park Jazz Festival
