Jesse will be performing with Wadada Leo Smith’s Organic on August 7th, 2011 as part of the Jazz em Agosto Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.
Co-founder of Chicago AACM, a powerhouse of the last decades’ creative music, the trumpet player and composer has been redefining the contours of jazz improvisation. From the myriad of his projects, the nonet Organic privileges percussive electric guitars and differentiated basses in an experimental context that explores the dimension of space set in a framework of real time imagery.
