8:15PM – District 5 Jazz Band is a Boston-based jazz sextet that has played music together since 2017. They thrive on playing live music and bringing fun and celebration to all who hear them play.

All this has them playing material from such great composers as The Crusaders, Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Roy Hargrove, Joe Henderson, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jobim, and many others.
