Trumpetist

After an exhilarating Spiegeltent debut last summer, composer, drummer, and the “Hendrix of dhol” (Manchester Salon) Sunny Jain returns for a second season. In Sunny Jain’s performances, trance beats coalesce with ethereal soundscapes, creating a meditative, transcendent evening of music. His music is a celebration of cultural diaspora: deep-rooted tradition that ripples outward, changing—and being changed by—the cultures that it touches.

Brilliant pianist, composer, and multimedia artist Jason Moran turns his boundless creativity and curiosity to a celebration of the life of often-overlooked African American musical pioneer James Reese Europe, credited with introducing jazz music to the European continent during World War I. Moran will share archival photos, recordings, and original multimedia creations to help build his musical monument to a truly transformational artist.

Sunny Jain’s Love Force centers on the Punjabi dhol drum, blurring the lines of performer and audience by creating a collective effervescence. Drawing from tradition, rituals and in the moment musical improvisation, the show reflects the ethos of Leo Tolstoy, B.R. Ambedkar, Martin Luther King, Jr, Audre Lorde and Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II.
