The 2022 Madison Jazz Festival is well underway. Still on the schedule: A trio led by Thaddeus Tukes, a literate, inventive vibraphonist whose poetic style has landed him in performance with the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic as well as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (8 p.m., June 16, Cafe Coda). Events move to the UW campus for the final three days, starting June 17 with two concerts and a panel discussion commemorating Duke Ellington's residency at UW-Madison (5:30-10 p.m., Hamel Music Center). On June 18-19, the Memorial Union hosts lectures at 1:30 p.m., music on the Terrace in the afternoon and ticketed evening concerts in Shannon Hall featuring the 25th anniversary tour by Brian Blade & the Fellowship Band (June 18) and Christian McBride (June 19).
