“[Ambrose Akinmusire] may be the most distinctive, elusive and ultimately satisfying trumpeter of his generation.” —New York Times
Lauded jazz trumpeter/composer and revered collaborator Ambrose Akinmusire curates and hosts two distinct evenings of exclusive new music for the Walker in collaboration with nationally noted musicians.
Both not-to-be-missed evenings feature the acclaimed contemporary classical Mivos String Quartet; DC-based rapper/producer/singer Kokayi; underground Colombian/Canadian Latinx producer/DJ Chiquita Magic; longtime Akinmusire bandmates pianist Sam Harris and drummer Justin Brown; Twin Cities–raised experimental jazz/ambient saxophonist Cole Pulice (Friday only); and jazz guitar phenom Mary Halvorson (Friday only).
Program A: Friday, May 19, 8 pm
An evening of improvisation features new and unusual configurations and experiments from all 10 musicians, under the direction of Akinmusire
Program B: Saturday, May 20, 8 pm
World premiere of the evening-length composition by Akinmusire for the Honey from a Winter’s Stone ensemble
