‘ABSENCE’ TERENCE BLANCHARD FEATURING THE E-COLLECTIVE AND TURTLE ISLAND QUARTET

MAKAYA MCCRAVEN

SAMARA JOY

MAHOGANY BROWNE 

ANGEL BAT DAWID (DJ set)
Presented by NYC Winter Jazzfest and SummerStage 

In ABSENCE, 2018 USA Fellow, two-time Oscar® nominee, and five-time GRAMMY®-winning trumpeter & composer Terence Blanchard celebrates both the brilliance of Wayne Shorter’s legacy and the inspiration he has given Blanchard, influencing his ever-expanding amalgam of music and storytelling. For this monumental task, Blanchard will unite his internationally acclaimed band The E-Collective, featuring young musical pioneers Charles Altura on guitar, Fabian Almazan on piano and synthesizers, Oscar Seaton on drums, and David “DJ” Ginyard on bass, with the double-GRAMMY®-winning Turtle Island Quartet. 

Makaya McCraven is a beat scientist. The bleeding edge drummer, producer, and sonic collagist is one of Chicago’s savviest cultural players and a multi-talented force whose inventive process & intuitive, cinematic style defy categorization. With a voice as smooth as velvet, Samara Joy’s star seems to rise with each performance, from her winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition to opening the first show of 2022 NYC Winter Jazzfest.
