BlueStem Jazz Presentation | Zoh Amb Sun Ensemble featuring Lex Korten (piano), Miguel Marcel Russell (percussion), and Kanoa Mendenhall (bass).
Sun is the new project by Zoh Amba with pianist Lex Korten and percussionist Miguel Marcel Russell.
The project was conceived through a commission from Roulette blending avant-garde, noise, and devotional hymns with a release June 2025 on the Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound. Zoh Amba is a composer, instrumentalist and songwriter from East Tennessee living in New York city. She began her musical journey steeped in the musical traditions of the South and has taken it from coast to coast. Zoh released her first two records in 2022, her debut record O, Sun which was released on Tzadik, the second record, Bhakti features Micah Thomas, and Tyshawn Sorey. She has collaborated with a variety of musicians such as Chris Corsano, Myriam Gendrom, Glen Hansard, Jim White, gabby fluke-mogul, William Parker, and Bill Orcutt. Amba has also performed at well respected venues and festivals such as ReWire (NL), BRDCST Festival (BE), Roulette (NY), Jazz En Agosto (Portugal), Saalfelden (AU), Big Ears (Knoxville) and Willisau Jazz. Today, Amba’s powerfully unique avant-garde music is full of folk melodies, mesmerizing refrains, and repeated incantations.
