BIMHUIS TV | Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah

Christian Scott trumpet / reverse flugel / sirenette, Logan Richardson sax, Lawrence Fields piano / keys, Max Mucha bass, Corey Fornville drums, Weedie Braimah percussion
Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah reaches a wide audience with innovative music. A new highlight is his recent album Ancestral Recall, which connects all kinds of rhythms: West African, First Nation and Caribbean, as well as rock, hip-hop, trap and 808-beats. With beautifully designed instruments such as reverse flugel and sirenette he creates a sound that is embedded in the music, drawing comparisons to Jon Hassell and mid-80s Miles Davis.
Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah has conquered important festivals such as North Sea Jazz and Transition, and reached the top of the Downbeat Critics Polls, as a trumpeter and as a composer. He has collaborated with big pop and rock stars such as Prince, Jill Scott and Thom Yorke, and with influential rappers such as Mos Def, Boogie and Vic Mensa. His roots are in the jazz of New Orleans: as a teenager he played in the band of his uncle Donald Harrison Jr., with which he made his Dutch live debut in 2003 at the BIMHUIS.

Thx!

The imagination is the key to life's coming attractions....Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah is our gift! Thank you to the heavens...Love & Respect!

[@bmuhamad]

Some used to complain about Miles, why he didn't talk or why does he turn his back to the audience. Let Mr. Atunde Adjuah & Band be who they are, and do what they do.

[@bmuhamad]

Weedie has great hands and wrists with rhythmic concepts.

[@Squirrelconga]

He just released a couple tracks under his own name!! I've streamed 'em on KZbin and Amazon for sure. They are 🔥

I love the way the band plays together.

[@ginokleisen8659]

This was a fantastic show didn't know it was recorded😀

Fantástico Som! Adorei...há algo de Weather Report, mas são êles próprios...cada um dêles , muito bons, muita alma...parece-me algo Religiôso , no melhor significado da palavra, especialmente o saxofonista que parece estar em estado Meditativo e devocional. Há algo de místico no som dêste grupo, Bate na alma. Adorei Ouvir!

[@yamhead33]

I'm a big fan of what christian scotts music, but i have to say he sounds so much better without going thru effects.

[@sirdouglas2010]

So full of love and gratitude for Chief Adjuah and fellow musicians

[@bmuhamad]

He's also collaborated with the Miles Davis Electric Band with Ravi Coltrane...

[@papanino4415]

This guy talks SO MUCH. Just play your thing already.

[@emmouroger7455]

Christion Scott, I LOOOOOOOOVE your music, but you speak TOOOOOO much

[@edge60able]

Then you don't like the music. He ain't up there fucking around.

[@emmouroger7455]

@@edge60able how a jazz music lover can be so vulgar and coarse... Don't you find your comment disproportionate? Strange and sad to read that below such a peaceful and deep content.

[@norabiddogz8673]

@@emmouroger7455 What @edge60able was trying to say, is that if you can't appreciate an artist's verbal content, then you don't truly appreciate them as a person and their music. As Christian says, this music is fundamentally about communication, he's talking in his music and he talks verbally too for the sake of getting to know him. Word is power.

[@viniciuscomacento]

I understand your point, but I don't think he speaks that much

[@mehmetkarpuz436]

Amazing artist but man! Why does he have to talk that much?

[@colasmeu]

Mehmet Karpuz because he has a lot to say, because he’s a great speaker, because we love listening to him

[@marchiesmusic]

Mehmet Karpuz I love listening to him talk, he’s such an amazing dude...

[@fivebyfivesound]

As Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah makes clear at the start, he values being intentional about what is being communicated. It follows that most of the conveyance is via music, and it also bears some explanation in words. Personally, I understand and feel the music he leads more clearly and deeply by knowing the stories behind and intent of the music. And having heard him convey the stories and messages he offers--in words--I find them to be integral to the music which is also being offered. In the end, it's his/their creative expression, so if they got things to say, that's their prerogative. It's part of the legacy of the music. People listening can choose to take it or leave it. What I also appreciate is that he invites the audience to be free and say what they feel moved to say as well.

[@rumblepac6823]

@@fivebyfivesound Well said.

[@st5184]

@@rumblepac6823 I agree well said. I have seen him play several times and always think he has a lot to say and that it adds to the music. I have met him twice, once after a concert in NY and once just randomly in New Orleans and he is the same offstage as on. Articulate, intelligent and personable.
