Jazz at Koubek

Jazz artists from Miami and beyond share the stage for a two-night series at the Koubek Center in Little Havana. The third edition of Jazz at Koubek takes place Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31, offering performances that move through soul, world music, Latin influences, R&B and contemporary jazz. The series highlights both established musicians and emerging voices, continuing jazz’s tradition as “the sound of surprise.”

The performance schedule includes:

• Saturday, May 30 at 8 p.m.: The Harden Project, led by vocalist Ja’Nia Harden and keyboardist John Harden II, performs a set blending jazz, soul and groove-based composition. The evening also features Han Beyli, a bassist, singer and composer whose work draws from jazz, world music, modern R&B and his Eastern European and Azerbaijani heritage.
• Sunday, May 31 at 6 p.m.: Miami vocalist Victoria Blue brings a Latin and soul-informed style shaped by her Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican background, international performance experience and appearance on The X Factor USA. Venezuelan flutist Eric Chacón, a classically trained musician and educator, rounds out the evening with a career spanning academic, popular and recorded music.

Tickets are $15 per evening, and free valet parking is available.
