Six sold-out shows. One weekend. Emily Braden and the band delivered something SOUTH was built for.
This is what live music looks like when everything locks in.
Lee is up next. Emily will be back. Don't miss it.

Sy Smith on the SOUTH stage this weekend. A singer's singer. A career that runs from Whitney Houston to Thundercat to The Tonight Show. James Poyser in the audience. This is the room Philadelphia deserves.

Philadelphia... what a week.
Cecily stepped on that SOUTH stage and turned a room full of people into something shared.
She sent me home pulling out Tapestry and listening start to finish.
That's what a voice like that does.

Philadelphia showed up this week.
Lindsey Webster. Gerald Veasley. The Unscripted Jazz Series.
Three different expressions of the same truth... live music still matters. And SOUTH keeps proving it.
#PhillyJazz #SouthJazzClub
Real music. Real artists. Real moments.
Emmaline is live at SOUTH this weekend and Arnetta Johnson sat in on trumpet.
If you know, you know. If you don't... now you do.

Isaiah Collier + Keyon Harrold.
Collier channeling ancestors and tomorrow. Urgent. Spiritual. Unfiltered.
Harrold's trumpet didn't just play...it spoke. Jazz braided with Afrobeat, soul, hip-hop.
Something real happened last night.

S.O.A.R. Took SOUTH to church in Philadelphia.
April and Randall brought pure electricity with soaring vocals and fearless musicianship.
One of those unrepeatable Philly moments.
Exactly the kind of artistry WHYY exists to spotlight.

Great jazz is everywhere. One of my fav jazz clubs in Philadelphia is the Chris Jazz Cafe between S 15h and Broad on Sansom St...lots of big name jazz acts, and some very good local and regional talent, such as the Hudson River & Friends here with a Coltrane rewire
