Concerts in the Courtyard: Jump City 8

Enjoy a concert under the stars in the Museum's outdoor courtyard featuring music by Jump City 8.

The Jump City 8 brings Philly's brotherly love to West Coast Jazz. After coming off the road, the Los Angeles based musicians of the great 1940's big-bands started writing highly stylized arrangements of the Great American Songbook. Rooted in swing, and inspired by the sun, sand, and surf of a 1950's California life-style, these arrangements produced sounds unique to the world of jazz. The music was cool; It was laid-back; There was a vibe. They started a movement that became known as "West Coast Jazz"

As veterans of Philadelphia's storied jazz and big band tradition, the members of the Jump City 8 have been inspired to bring their considerable experience and deep love of swing to perform this incredible music. Since its founding in 2014, Jump City 8 has performed for countless concerts and events and has been featured in venues throughout the Philadelphia area.
