Two Nights of Jazz and Improvised Music @ 701CCA
Curated by Tim Daisy

To Begin, Again is a two-day festival of jazz and improvised music, highlighting the vast array of world-class improvisers who have made Columbia a regular performance stop for over a quarter of a century. Both a celebration of this unique milestone as well as a nod to the community of open-minded presenters, venues, and most importantly, fans of the music, whose tireless efforts have helped sustain this incredible achievement. New connections are made, and new artistic discoveries are created. The music moves forward.

Tim Daisy is a Chicago-based drummer, composer, and educator who has made regular visits to Columbia since 2001. He has performed many times at various venues all over the city, including The Columbia Museum of Art, Conundrum, the iF Art Gallery, The Hunter Gatherer, Granby Grill, The Cola Jazz Office, The Whig, and the USC Newman Recital Hall.
