About this Residency:
Great Black Music Mondays are nodes of sonic spiritual nourishment and freedom – freedom of expression and creation. Freedom of form and story. Freedom within the music as a vehicle.* Freedom and rootedness – a resonance connection to sonic ancestry carving more freedom – in and out and through the mainstream of popular music, of commerce. Crafting life and fluidity to seed and deepen bonds across genres and the globe.
*nod to Nicole Mitchell’s quotation, “Jazz is a Globalized African American Freedom Vehicle.”
