Donovan's Garage events are dedicated to bringing the finest of Chicago's jazz players to Evanston for free public performances. “It is often said that jazz is a musical conversation among,the players.  Free Form Jazz expands on that conversation, giving each artist wide latitude for
improvisation.

The focus of Taalib -Din Ziyad’s music is to express healing vibrations to the audience and the universe at large. 
Think Leon Thomas, Alice & John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders)

With the focus of attention on unconditional love and peace the process of healing can begin
.

***Drummer/Percussionist: Dushun Mosley will also perform with the ensemble.
