Darius Jones: Samesoul Maker and fLuXkit Vancouver
New York, Merkin Concert Hall — Main Hall
About the Event
Saxophonist and composer Darius Jones bridges the landscape between the New York avant‐jazz scene and contemporary composition. He brings these musical worlds together for the first time at a performance featuring his two most iconic works: Samesoul Maker and fLuXkit Vancouver.
Samesoul Maker for voices, bells and vibraphone transports listeners into a mythical alien world, creating a realm of sound, syntax and speech patterns expressing the hope and truth that real communication lies beyond the realm of words and the familiar. A radiant manifesto of artistic freedom, fLuXkit Vancouver was #1 on The Wire’s 2023 Best Jazz list and made NPR’s Top 50 of 2023.
