Live the Spirit Residency and the Englewood Jazz Festival (EJF) are deeply rooted in and reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Englewood community. 

Our mission is to increase the musical resources of the community and connect the past to the present through programs and partnerships with artists and arts organizations committed to music, mentoring, and inter-generational knowledge exchange.

EJF is an annual free event, taking place in Hamilton Park, 513 W. 72nd Street Chicago, IL
