Delbert Anderson, a Diné jazz trumpeter and composer, is “at the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene.” (The New York Times) Anderson and his innovative quartet blend traditional Diné spinning songs with jazz and funk in a program featuring the world premiere commissioned work Beyond Belief, a multi-part meditation on Navajo history and the tribe’s broken relationship with America. Anderson’s much-anticipated Philadelphia debut “skillfully braids Indigenous melodies and syncopated grooves in a way that can appeal to purists in either camp.” (Grammy.com)
6 PM:
As part of our ListenHear series, you're invited to join us before the performance for a conversation with the artist, moderated by Hannah Junco, an ethnomusicology Ph.D. student at Penn.
