The Five Points Project
Improvisation makes the music and the audience brings the energy in this open jam and cross-arts performance by The Five Points Project community.
The Five Points Project is a platform built to alleviate loneliness through live music and open collaboration. It’s a cross-genre, fully improvised jam session where instrumentalists, singers and rappers come together to create something truly unique.
This event is more than just music: The Five Points Project is a family and a spiritual gathering that celebrates community, creativity and connection.
It’s a home away from home, a safe space for everyone to tap into collective expression, and to connect, heal and grow.
They’ve hosted full-day takeovers at Brick Lane Jazz Festival and filled tents at Love Supreme and We Out Here.
Now, they bring The Five Points Project experience to Montreux Jazz Festival, with a multi-sensory celebration blending jazz, funk and soul with live art, jazz dance and more.
