Step into a world of unparalleled musical virtuosity as we proudly present an evening with Chief Xian
aTunde Adjuah.
Two-time Edison Award-winner and six-time Grammy nominee Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott) comes to the Library of Congress with his latest work, “Bark Out Thunder Roar Out Lighting .”
Trumpeter, composer, producer and innovative artist, he is the creator of “Stretch Music,” a jazz-rooted, genre-blind musical form that tries to “stretch” jazz’s rhythmic, melodic and harmonic conventions to encompass multiple musical forms and cultures. Chief Adjuah is also the creator of a signature line of instruments including the new Adjuah Bow. Join the Library for an evening of powerful sounds from the mind of one of the finest and most fearless sons of New Orleans.
There will be no pre-concert talk for this event.
