Trap Music Orchestra
Angelica Sanchez

“I’ve always dreamed of having a night of music of various genres that bring us together rather than separate us. The world is full of sound and we should immerse ourselves in our shared experiences rather than difference. That experience is the love of sound.” — JBL

Find Your Own Voice James Brandon Lewis
Abiodun Oyewole and Taylor Pace
Oliver Lake and Josh Werner
Tuesday Taylor and Melanie Dyer

“Poet Jayne Cortez once spoke the words, ‘Find your own voice and use it, use your own voice and find it.’ There is a through-line that connects poetry, music and visual art … Both are comprised of units of sound, all have a relationship with rhythm … Tonight we attempt to merge these worlds while still respecting the nuance of each … We are all human, however each with a signature uniquely our own.” — JBL

Art of Solo James Brandon Lewis
Nicole Mitchell
Janel Leppin

“The artists represented tonight I’ve admired for a long time. I’ve dreamed of a bill just focusing on their solo work and it’s finally happening. Playing solo is no easy feat: There’s nothing to fall back on, and it’s the most intimate musical experience — direct communication with the audience.” — JBL
