You’ve likely heard us mention Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah before and you’re likely to hear us mention him again. We dig the energy and passion he puts in every single note as well as the lyricism and intensity you can find in all his compositions. Here’s your chance to watch a full set by the now established trumpeter performed last July at the Jazz des Cinq Continents Festival in Marseille, France. This performance features one of the formations aTunde Adjuah has been experimenting with, namely Braxton Cook on alto and Elena Pinderhughes on flute backed up by Lawrence Fields on ivory, Kris Funn on upright and Corey Fonville on drums. Video courtesy of Arte expires May 26th. Enjoy!
Sébastien Hélary co-founded Nextbop in 2009 with the objective of introducing modern jazz music to a younger generation of fans. Aside from music, his other main obsession is food, particularly ramen and other Japanese delicacies.
