August 15 at KCCK’s at Jazz Under The Stars, it’s a class reunion with Group X. Nearly 20 years ago, 5 UNI music students formed a band and recorded an album. Today, the members of Group X lead some of our top area music programs, including Linn-Mar, Cedar Rapids Washington, and even UNI, their alma mater. The members reunite for the very first time under the name of their college band to revisit their early work, and promise us a few surprises, too! Plus, Group Xers Jen Tiede and Joel Nagel have some advice for our Young Artists, the Murphy Fisher Quartet.
KCCK has presented free, family-friendly jazz in Noelridge Park nearly every year since 1988. There will be food trucks, a playground for the kids, and great music each week at 6:30pm. Trio Grismore wraps up the series on August 22
