MUSIC / JAZZ

Delbert Anderson Quartet

Saturday, March 1 / 7:30pm

The Lorraine Boccardo Theater

“By mining traditional Navajo ‘spinning songs’ of love, healing, and courtship, and marrying them to jazz and funk lines, Anderson and his trio have taken a place at the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene.” – The New York Times

Delbert Anderson creates Diné inspired musical pathways, preserving his cultural music by creating a foundation of new Diné melodies and fuses them through jazz, jam and funk. Each path serves Indigenous culture through stories, healing, history and collaboration. 

Anderson had been featured on The New York Times, JazzTimes, Grammy.com, NASA, NPR Music Top 10, Smithsonian Magazine, Yahoo/Mic.com, TEDx, PBS, FNX Television and much more.
