In a special collaboration, the Harlem Stage and Carnegie Hall co-present saxophonist and composer Lakecia Benjamin on March 11 in aconcert. She will appear in celebration of her recently released album “Phoenix” , which consists of mostly original compositions. Joining her is an all-star lineup of special guests, including Dianne Reeves, Sonia Sanchez, Angela Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Georgia Anne Muldrow.
“Amerikkan Skin, features Davis’s thought-provoking words and revolutionary hope, with Benjamin’s bluesy midtempo riffing trumpet joining in high-hittin’ call and response with saxophone. Sanchez offers words of peace in this now and future on the tracks “Peace is a Haiku,” which features Sanchez’s intense bullets over guitar melodies. On the track “Blast,” Sanchez continues her poem, which escalates into a fiery tone as Benjamin and the ensemble join in.
The Harlem Stage’s current ongoing series “Black Arts Movement: Examined,” which began in October 1922 and will continue through May 2023 with a dynamic three-day conference. This series features the 1960s and ’70s cultural movement that was rooted in the music, literature, dance, drama and visual arts. It reflects the Harlem Stage mission and the ongoing creativity and definitive statement of today’s artists.
This year’s Schomburg Center Festival will present a spirited variety of jazz genres for audiences of mixed tastes, live on March 6, 13, and 20. Tinnin also plays the cajon, a widely used Afro-Peruvian percussion instrument. “Playing the cajon has expanded my playing ability and I use these rhythms in my music,” she said—a combustion of jazz, world, and pop music. She says her goal is to have an album that is strictly Peruvian rhythms.
