From bebop to boom bap, jazz and hip-hop share deep roots in storytelling, improvisation and cultural resistance. Join us for an intergenerational exploration of how jazz’s rich legacy shaped hip-hop’s evolution — blending rhythm, poetry and protest across generations. Celebrate Black History Month with a journey through sound, history and creative expression curated by Brooklyn’s Soul Science Lab.
