The Exchange is a three-month residency and performance series celebrating the best of Baltimore's jazz scene, running from November to January and hosted by Brent Birckhead. Each performance will be recorded and multitracked to capture the unique sounds and styles of the participating artists, and these recordings will then be curated into a compilation album, also titled “The Exchange," showcasing the vibrant and diverse talent within Baltimore's jazz community. This project aims to elevate and highlight local jazz artists from Baltimore, providing them with greater exposure and creating a lasting tribute to Baltimore's rich jazz heritage.
Saxophonist Brent Birckhead is an award-winning artist, whose aesthetic is an intersectional amalgam of traditional and popular styles. Unbound by genre, Birckhead’s approach to woodwind artistry is driven by his compulsion for creative risk and deep respect for legacy. Educated at Howard University (BME, MM), Birckhead was named best blues/pop/rock soloist and outstanding instrumental jazz soloist by Downbeat Magazine as part of the annual Student Music Awards. The Baltimore native's talent earned him the honor of performing and touring with legendary artists including Lauryn Hill, Nas, Wale, Eric Benet, Larry Graham, George Duke and many more.
