Kamasi Washington live in Chicago

Experience Kamasi Washington live on November 14th

Kamasi Washington is scheduled to perform at City Winery Chicago on November 14, 2026. Washington is a contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer known for his expansive, spiritually-infused compositions. His music blends elements of post-bop jazz with funk, soul, and hip-hop influences, often featuring large ensembles and extended improvisations. He gained widespread recognition with his 2015 triple album *The Epic*, which revitalized interest in large-scale jazz projects. Subsequent albums include *Heaven and Earth* (2018) and *Fearless Movement* (2022), continuing his exploration of complex harmonic structures and thematic depth.

City Winery Chicago opened in 2012 as part of a small chain founded by Michael Dorf, initially focused on combining a working winery with a live music venue. Located in the West Loop neighborhood, the Chicago location features a 300-capacity performance space designed to resemble a wine cave. Beyond hosting musical performances spanning various genres – including jazz, rock, folk, and blues – City Winery also operates as a restaurant and offers wine production workshops and tastings.
