Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band / Mali Obomsawin — live event

Since time immemorial, songs have been the vessels for stories, lessons, and prayers for the Indigenous people of the Americas. The Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band (JKIBB) continues that sacred tradition, performing new works, reimagined traditional melodies, and standards made famous by the Indigenous jazz musicians who came before us. JKIBB is a sonic celebration of the diversity and vitality of Indigenous voices in jazz: past, present, and future. Julia Keefe Website Mali Obomsawin is a bassist, singer and composer from Odanak First Nation. Her debut album Sweet Tooth (Out of Your Head Records, 2022) has garnered international acclaim, named in ‘best of the year’ lists from Grammy.com to The Guardian. Evocative and thunderous, Mali's touring band delivers a gripping and dynamic performance, seamlessly melding chorale-like spirituals, folk melodies, and post-Albert Ayler free jazz. Obomsawin’s ensemble occupies a musical universe completely their own, bringing skronk and reverence to every stage.
