Tuesdays on the Terrace At-Home Edition with Thaddeus Tukes on the Vibes
Tuesdays on the Terrace is the MCA's summer jazz series celebrating Chicago's robust music scene. Audio broadcasts are available on Facebook Live every Tuesday, July through September, from 5:30–6:30 pm. For our first session, we welcome Thaddeus Tukes and his multilayered ensemble to play two sets punctuated by Tukes's signature sound on the vibraphone.
