An Evening with Rhythm Planet Music

Rhythm Planet Music will debut an original composition at the Words & Music Festival. Jeff Klein has composed new music for the Rhythm Planet ensemble, which will debut at this year’s Words and Music Festival. Every journey at Rhythm Planet draws from years spent learning, listening, and collaborating with artists and elders who treat rhythm as both inheritance and living conversation. Out of this dedication emerged a body of work that honors lineage—not as nostalgia, but as a source of vision and responsibility. Each tradition becomes a thread, intricately woven into the project—a celebration of cultural memory expressed through original music, film, and the written word. This performance is supported by the Jazz & Heritage Foundation. Free and open to the public; donations gratefully accepted. Donations support One Book One New Orleans' year-round work. The Andre Cailloux Center for Performing Arts and Cultural Justice is accessible to community members who require mobility-related ADA accommodations.
