The busy sounds commuters are accustomed to hearing— train horns blaring, conversations overlapping — will be muffled by live jazz music for a couple hours at select MARTA stations each Monday this month.

MARTA Jazz Mondays, which is executed in partnership with Atlanta’s office of cultural affairs and award-winning jazz artists, started in 2013.

The series is “designed to showcase local musical talent while increasing the presence of the arts throughout the MARTA system,” according to a news release.
