1h 35m
Delbert Anderson Quartet is led by Navajo (Diné) Jazz Trumpeter and Composer, Delbert Anderson. He is both a leader and innovator in today's contemporary Jazz scene and he is a Diné culture bearer. His work brings forth traditional Diné songs once sung in Diné social circles called "spinning songs," and captures their voice in the language of jazz and funk.
Through the support of visionary multicultural Jazz fusion drummers and bassists, Anderson builds safe havens for Diné melodies to converse with various styles and pathways for expression. In all their forms, compositions are guided by the time immemorial Diné principles of Hózhó (harmony, beauty, and balance with self, other, and nature), and K’é or kinship. In this way, Anderson connects across genres and cultures while remaining steadfast in a signature sound as strong as the centuries of traditions it was built upon.
“By mining traditional Navajo “spinning songs'' of love, healing, and courtship, and marrying them to jazz and funk lines, Anderson and his trio have taken a place at the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene.” - Michael Powell, New York Times.
