The Blackberry Patch is a folkloric name given to the area on Columbus' near east side where many settled during the Great Migration. Once known as the Cradle of Jazz, the King-Lincoln District was a hotbed of African American culture. Inspired by the writings of Anna Bishop, "Beyond the Blackberry Patch" is a new commission by world-renowned trombonist/composer Wycliffe Gordon and based on the research of eight neighborhood schools under the theme "King-Lincoln District: Then, Now, Next." Experience the rebirth of this famous district along with an all-star cast fashioned around the Bobby Floyd Trio including Aaron Diehl and many more homegrown artists!
