About this Event
Chase Elodia is a Brooklyn-based composer, drummer, and writer whose work explores the intersection of music, language, and contemporary life. His latest album, Have Know Want, was released on May 10, 2024, by Biophilia Records.
Modern jazz, straight ahead—with a twist. Composer and drummer Chase Elodia brings bold beats, lyrical nuance, and literary inspiration to the stage, creating dynamic rhythms, unexpected turns, and music that explores everything from the intimacy of everyday life to the weight of memory.
Influenced by a wide range of artists—including poets June Jordan and Victoria Chang, composers Joni Mitchell and Maurice Ravel, and drummers Billy Hart and Terri Lyne Carrington—Elodia’s work is richly layered and emotionally resonant. A 2022 MacDowell Fellow in Composition, he has been recognized by ASCAP, Avaloch Farm, South Arts, and other arts organizations. His band has toured nationally and led master classes at institutions like Yale, Oberlin Conservatory, and the University of Denver.
For his Within Earshot Jazz Festival performance, Elodia and his band will perform music inspired by fruit, fluttering eyelids, the textuality of grief, and the quiet drama of living with roommates.
