Commissioned as a musical component of the exhibition Our Whole, Unruly Selves, this special 4-part series explores the rule-breaking and liberating potential of jazz. San Jose Jazz presents in-gallery musical performances on the second Sunday of each month, March–June 2022, 2–4 PM. Each features different musicians representing San José’s diverse communities.

Mild Monk is the brainchild of Henry Stein, a San José-based Asian American songwriter and producer. After picking up a guitar in 2016, Henry started writing songs on his phone by experimenting with a variety of musical inspirations. His music ranges from alternative pop and indie rock to lo-fi and instrumental hip-hop. After releasing his debut album Love (2018), Henry moved to San José and released records including Orbit (2018) and Sunsmile (2020) featuring a talented crew of Bay Area friends. Whether it be creating a lush sonic landscape with swirling instrumentals or telling a story through lyrics, Stein has created a universe within Mild Monk that is constantly expanding and rediscovering itself.
