Since time immemorial, songs have been the vessels for stories, lessons, and prayers for the Indigenous people of the Americas.

The Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band (JKIBB) continues that sacred tradition, performing new works, reimagined traditional melodies, and standards made famous by the Indigenous jazz musicians who came before us.

JKIBB is a sonic celebration of the diversity and vitality of Indigenous voices in jazz – past, present, and future.
