Project Overview

The Flash Concert Series' is an outreach project of KBEM, presenting the very best available Minnesota jazz and jazz-adjacent musicians in high-foot traffic locations and times, to present jazz to an audience that may not be aware of the vibrancy of Minnesota's current crop of live performers. The intent is to introduce people to the jazz scene and to KBEM where they already are, versus drawing an existing jazz audience in to a cloistered, ticketed event.
