Join us for an afternoon of jazz with the Charles ‘Rahmat’ Woods Quartet. The esteemed quartet plays music that will highlight poignant classics like DC-born pianist-composer Billy Taylor’s “I Wish I knew How It Felt To Be Free,” John Coltrane’s “The Promise,” and Cannonball Adderley’s “Mercy Mercy Mercy,” and arrangements of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless The Child,” “Jill Scott’s “Golden,” Grover Washington’s “Mister Magic,” and Charles ‘Rahmat’ Woods’ original song “Barack,” and others.

In other words, states Mr. Woods, “our performance musically underscores the cultural ethic embraced by our ancestors…“Onward and Upward.”
