In this musical Night Light experience, we ask: What is a groove, exactly? How do humans find rhythm together, create harmony, and turn sound into song? What’s happening in the mind of a musician as they improvise their way through a classic tune, with one foot in tradition and one in the wild unknown? How can science inform creative practices?
In his book Moving to Higher Ground, composer Wynton Marsalis writes “Jazz shows us how to find a groove with other people, how to hold on to it, and how to develop it.” During this 21+ adults-only Night Light, we’ll explore the many ways we can take inspiration from the freedom and collaboration of jazz. Beyond music, we’ll consider how the principles of improvisation can shape how we build community and show up in our relationships and daily lives.
Join us as we turn the pages of Omaha’s rich musical history while writing a new chapter – one rooted in community, creativity, and a deeper scientific understanding of what it means to live life deep in the groove.
