Featuring Acclaimed Jazz Pianist and Composer, Lafayette Gilchrist
Lafayette Gilchrist's music draws on the span of jazz history from stride to free improvisation, along with inspiration from hip-hop, funk, and Washington D.C.'s unique go-go sound. His work thrives on making surprising connections between styles and influences and his compositions have graced the soundtracks of David Simon's acclaimed series The Wire, The Deuce, and Treme.
He leads the genre-defying ensembles the New Volcanoes and the Sonic Trip Masters All Stars, and along with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Eric Kennedy, he's a member of the adventurous collective trio Inside Out. In 2017, Gilchrist was named a Local Legend by Baltimore Magazine, while Baltimore City Paper named Lafayette Gilchrist and the New Volcanoes as "Best Band." In 2018 he was chosen as a Baker Artist Award winner. Gilchrist has performed with Cassandra Wilson, Macy Gray, Oliver Lake, Andrew Cyrille, Orrin Evans, Paul Dunmall, Hamid Drake, William Parker, and many more. Gilchrist's recent albums - 2019's Dark Matter and 2020's Now - landed on numerous critics best of the year lists at National Public Radio, Paste Magazine and more.

Serving Baltimore City
Many of Gilchrist Center Baltimore's patients, both children and adults, are the city's underserved. Join us in Baltimore City as we raise funds, helping them live out their final days with the dignity and comfort that everyone deserves.
The Accelerator Space, built in 1919, was used as an automobile dealership - originally the Govans Motor Company and then later, Jerry's Chevrolet. It was transformed with style into an incubator for food entrepreneurs known as B-More Kitchen and the Accelerator Space for events. The renovation was executed in an authentic and stylish manner and we are thrilled to host this year's Spring Jazz Brunch at this location.
This year's brunch will be catered by Copper Kitchen, which was established in 2011 in South Baltimore by Jennifer DeVos and Chef Kevin Miller, former Executive Chef of Ixia Restaurant. Copper Kitchen's commitment to sourcing ingredients locally is a crucial part of who they are, providing clients with the best our region has to offer.
