LEROY JENKINS
Jenkins emerged from the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in the late 1960s, establishing a new precedent for the violin in creative music. He played a vital role in advancing Chicago as a hub for adventurous art and left an indelible mark on generations of string players who have followed in his path. The Chicago Jazz String Summit is proud to carry this legacy forward, continuing to spotlight the thrilling evolution of string playing both locally and beyond.
