WRITING / CURATION

I was thrilled to be invited to create the accompanying soundtrack to BIMA’s Within/Earshot Jazz Festival this year.

A tapestry of rhythmic jazz sounds from around the world are presented to accompany their annual Jazz festival, a sister festival to Seattle's Earshot Jazz Festival, October 2021.

Here’s everything from the modern, improvised sounds of Ill Considered—to the classic sounds of Betty Carter and Thelonious Monk—to contemporary beatmakers/producers like Makaya McCraven and Kansado.

Read my liner notes and give it a listen, here.
