Jazz fusion to take center stage at ArtsXchange with quarterly concert series

The ArtsXchange will become a portal to a music multiverse as it launches The Jazz Xchange, a quarterly concert series showcasing the high-energy fusion of jazz with rock, funk, and R&B.

The series kicks off with a headline performance by The Goode Stuff Experience, led by trumpeter and composer Tiffany Goode, at 8 p.m. March 26 in the Paul Robeson Theater at ArtsXchange, 2148 Newnan St. in East Point. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 and available on EventBrite.

The Jazz Xchange represents the next chapter in ArtsXchange’s history of jazz programming. A venue known for hosting the legendary Joe’s Jazz Joint with Joe Jennings and free Jazz Matters concerts during the last two Jazz Appreciation Months, ArtsXchange continues its mission of bringing world-class musicians to the community at grassroots prices.

For Goode, this series goes beyond a concert to a spiritual and cultural exchange.

“This series is important to me because it explores the diversity and the similarities in music,” she said. “Music is multi-tiered and its frequencies have the ability to impact emotion, to heal, and to transform.”

Under the theme “The Music Multiverse,” Goode and her ensemble will celebrate the genre that she defines as the essential thread connecting all modern sounds.

“Jazz is the background of the complete musical landscape – it’s the foundation of everything in music,” Goode said. “This series seeks to bring all of these facets into one room.”

The night will also feature a special guest performer to be revealed during the set.
