Jazz
THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON! The Lionel Loueke Trio makes its Miller debut, with original and inventive compositions that seamlessly blend modern jazz with samba, the instrumental traditions of Mali and Nigeria, and the folklore of the guitarist’s native Benin. Loueke’s evocative sound palette combines intricate guitar plucking techniques, undulating pedal effects, and unique vocals inspired by the sounds of African languages, earning accolades from jazz greats including Herbie Hancock, who calls him “a musical painter.” Listen to Lionel Loueke’s “Griot” off the album Mwaliko (Blue Note Records) Listen to Lionel Loueke’s “Nonvignon” off the album Karibu (Blue Note Records) |
