The Makanda Project with dancers

Boston's innovative 13 piece jazz orchestra, the Makanda Project, begins its Fall 2026 Nubian Square concert series with a program featuring dancers led by Mickey Davidson. The Makanda Project and Ms. Davidson have been collaborating since 2012, and the result is a combination of choreographed and improvised dance moves rarely seen as part of a jazz performance of this nature. Ms. Davidson has a rich history working with jazz legends such as Sun Ra, Max Roach, Cecil Taylor and Oliver Lake, as well as renowned dancers including Norma Miller and Dianne McIntyre.
