Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah [formerly Christian Scott] is a two-time Edison Award-winning, six-time GRAMMY-nominated, Doris Duke Award in the Arts awardee. He creates as a sonic architect, trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, designer of innovative technologies, and musical instruments. Chief is widely recognized as the progenitor of “Stretch Music,” a jazz-rooted, genre-blind musical form that attempts to “stretch” jazz’s rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic conventions to encompass multiple musical forms, languages, and cultures, prompting NPR to consider him as “ushering in a new era of jazz.” Bringing his five-piece band to the Bailey Hall stage, “jazz’s young style God” (JazzTimes) will deliver a performance to remember.Event photo by Maya Iman.
