Citizens Jazz is a revolving collective of some of the Bay Area’s best up-and-coming and veteran musicians led by bassist Caroline Chung, who has been gigging professionally for over a decade playing in bands ranging from jazz and funk to Brazilian and Latin; she has studied under the late great Herbie Lewis, performs regularly in the Bay Area, and has organized several Bay Area Women in Jazz series at Red Poppy Art House. She has opened up for the Buena Vista Social Club’s last U.S. tour at Mountain Winery, as well as for Ozomatli at the New Parish with Afro-Latin funk band Sang Matiz.

Each time out, the Citizens Jazz combo brings a different element of magic that happens in the spontaneity of the language of jazz and improvisation.
