Come join DC Jazz Jam to celebrate our 16-year anniversary, featuring some of the “OG Jammers” from our previous homes, Dahlak and The Brixton.

Continuing the series this week (11/9/25) is vocalist Jessica Boykin-Settles. Jessica was our very first special guest vocalist back in 2012 (at our original venue Dahlak), when she was the vocal jazz instructor at Howard University. It was a terrific jam where she also brought a crew of her talented students–some of whom are now themselves among the most well-known jazz singers in the area!

Jessica will be joined by Amy Bormet (keys), Grant Le (bass), and Will Stephens (drums).
