About

Maggie Brown is a tremendously talented singer and performer who uses her gift to not only entertain but also to educate. As the daughter of the late Oscar Brown Jr., a world renowned composer, social activist, and legendary giant in the jazz music scene, Maggie Brown inherited his artistic integrity. For 19 years, the songstress has nationally toured her one-woman show, LEGACY: Our Wealth of Music, which follows the history and evolution of African American music and covers a wide range of musical forms.

Hosted by Al Carter-Bey, WHPK 88.5 FM, University of Chicago.

Join us for free live jazz concerts every Tuesday, June 2–September 29, 2015, 5:30 pm–8 pm.
