Gilles Peterson: Jazz Musician in New York

About Gilles Peterson

Gilles Peterson is a broadcaster, DJ, and label and festival owner whose sets treat jazz as a home base rather than a boundary. He’s known for stitching together dance music, experimental cuts, and sounds from across the globe with the pacing of a radio curator. In New York City he brings that long-form approach to nights like *Gilles Peterson All Night Long* at Public Records. Collaborations and bills with artists such as Red Axes, Dan Shake, and Ellen Allien point to a practice that favors breadth over brand.
