Music & Dance on Every Corner

At the Cherokee Street Jazz Crawl on the first Saturday in November, you'll find dance and music on every corner of Cherokee Street — swing dancers and blues musicians tucked in between vintage clothing racks or brass bands marching down the street in the 2nd line parade.

Blvck Spvde & the Cosmos
& the All-styles Dance Battle

We're closing out the 11th Cherokee Street Jazz Crawl with some of the funkiest, genre-bending music in town! In this ticketed grand finale on Saturday November 4th, Cherokee Street's own Blvck Spvde & the Cosmos takes the stage at The Golden Record, sponsored by Jazz St. Louis. But that's not all.

How it Started

Cherokee Street Jazz Crawl began in 2012 as aspect of the Nevermore Jazz Ball & St. Louis Swing Dance Festival and under the leadership of the STL Jitterbugs.

Overtime, the Jazz Crawl has taken on a life of its own. On Cherokee Street, you’re as likely to see a roller-skating banana as a neighbor walking their dog. Its constant stream of shops, eateries, bars, and cafes makes the street a hotbed of music and art, often underground, within an already vibrant city. And beyond that, Cherokee Street is a place to just be. The annual Cherokee Street Jazz Crawl is a culmination of this, a celebration of the city’s urban music and dance scene, and simply an amazing party.

Today the Jazz Crawl is put on by Cherokee Street Foundation and organized by dance instructor, performer & musician Christian Frommelt.
