169 Mass is a diverse collective of musicians from around the world who met through the Berklee Global Jazz Institute and the Jazz and Gender Justice Institute in Massachusetts. Their music is a fusion of their cultural backgrounds and love of modern jazz. Each band member contributes to their collaborative sound, which promotes unity, inclusivity, peace, and love. They are more than just a band; they are a family whose music celebrates their bond and brings people together.
