Diaspora ConnectionsJourney Through Jazz: Overtures to Africa is a jazz group heard on stages at Jazz at Lincoln Center, including Gala programming and projects that trace links between African musical lineages and modern jazz language. The ensemble has shared bills and collaborations with artists such as Bill Frisell, Wynton Marsalis, Jazzmeia Horn, Etienne Charles, and Hamilton de Holanda, often in large-ensemble contexts tied to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Its work favors ensemble blend and close listening over display, using arranged textures to keep the focus on conversation inside the band.
