The Music of Chaka Khan Meets Jazz

Join us for a blend of Chaka Khan’s greatest hits and jazz covers with Jazz standards!

Chaka Khan grew up on Chicago’s South Side in a musical family. From a young age, she was exposed to jazz legends like Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, and Dinah Washington—artists her parents listened to regularly. This early exposure shaped her musical sensibility, especially her sense of phrasing, vocal improvisation, and harmonic complexity.
