"One of the most interesting saxophonists of our times" — Jazz Trail
Visionary saxophonist and composer Darius Jones bridges the landscape between the New York avant-jazz scene and contemporary composition. Now, for the first time, he brings these musical worlds together at a performance featuring his two most iconic works at a one-night-only performance: 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.
