Black Whole – A Juneteenth Event

The “Black Whole”– meaning the “sum of” all black music. A gathering of 5 musical souls, engendered to paying homage to the ancestral sounds. With the instrumentation of violin with loops, flute, clarinet, alto sax, drums, rhodes, organ, eclectic & upright bass which brings fresh arrangements that have reimagined sound explorations. The ensemble has an ever-evolving style, delving deep within themselves to seamlessly reconnect jazz to its roots, while consciously and simultaneously working to uproot it.
