The New Orleans–born trumpeter, pianist, singer, and composer presents his signature BAM, “Black American Music,” exploring art beyond the confines of genre classification, with pieces from his ambitious 2017 album that fuses the musical traditions of his Louisiana hometown with be-bop, swing, blues, and soul, all rooted in the rhythms of Africa.
