SUMMARY:First Monday Jazz: Tom Tom's Big Band
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2013\, First Monday Jazz is APL’s longest-running program\, featuring emerging and established Chicago musicians and vocalists on the first Monday of every month. \n\nThis year\, First Monday Jazz 2025: Big Band Summer takes us on a journey back to the golden age of big band jazz in Chicago. As the 1920s exploded with musical energy from the South mixed with a growing nightlife culture\, our city became an epicenter where the raw spirit of early jazz blossomed into the power of larger ensembles. Imagine the scene: bustling cabarets\, elegant ballrooms like the Savoy (on 47th and King Drive)\, and grand theaters such as the Regal hosting musical forces that would define an era. In this electric atmosphere\, bandleaders like the legendary Earl Hines helped shape the big band sound\, known for its tight arrangements\, bold horn sections\, and driving rhythm perfect for dancing. \n\nOur September artist is Tom Tom’s Big Band \nDriven by a passion for instrumental music\, Tom Tom’s Big Band unites some of Chicago’s finest musicians to keep this American art form alive—and to inspire the next generation by helping revive band programs in public schools. \nPianist\, arranger\, and producer\, Tom “Tom Tom” Washington was raised in the Ida B. Wells projects on Chicago’s South Side. He began his music career playing the drums and later transitioned to the keyboard. He received formal music training from influential professor and musical arranger James Mack at Crane Junior College\, and went on to arrange dozens of records for Chicago music legends\, including Earth\, Wind & Fire\, The Emotions\, Tyrone Davis\, Deniece Williams\, The Staple Singers\, Ramsey Lewis\, Leroy Hutson\, The Chi-Lites\, Otis Leavill\, Betty Everett\, Jerry Butler\, and Loleatta Holloway \n\nNotes: \n\n\nAttendees may start setting up their spots starting at 6:30pm. The program begins at 7pm. \n\n\nWe encourage bringing your blanket or a low-profile lawn chair to relax in the front seating on the grass. APL provides some seating\, but seats are limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\n\nFor APL events on the Arts Lawn\, restrooms are available inside the Green Line Performing Arts Center. \n\n\nArts + Public Life’s outdoor programming on the Arts Lawn will proceed rain or shine unless there are hazardous conditions. Plan accordingly and check APL’s social media channels for real-time updates. Changes to programming related to weather conditions will be announced no earlier than one hour prior to programming. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to community safety.
