AUTUMN IN JAZZ Comes To Casa De Musica Thru 10/28

Casa de Musica presents AUTUMN IN JAZZ, the sixth edition of the event, running until Oct. 28.

This is a festival that has always wanted to be free of aesthetic ties, and it is increasingly becoming clear that the jazz of our time is a song that not only opens up to multiple universes, but also to a depth in rare times. Mergers are no longer a watertight style, or mere experimental curiosities are rather endemic signs of what jazz is today: music without geographic centers and always winning with artists' investment in their own genetic identity.

It is not by chance that some of the names that today appear at the top of the lists of the best, according to the critic, affirm themselves by this identity dive that accompanies an unblemished proficiency. That's what it's all about when the saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa revolves around his Indian origins and gives us a song filled with the carnival tradition, or when the trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire breathes the energy of a hip hop he also renewed, or when the guitarist Femi Temowo crosses a phrasing full of jazz history with the infectious sonorities of West Africa where he grew up. And all this is jazz, a jazz that does not follow a parallel path but is, let us risk, the mainstream of our time.
