Our week with artists who integrate their indigenous heritage into their musical aesthetic starts with trumpeter Delbert Anderson, whose innovative quartet blends Diné (Navajo) Spinning songs with improvisational jazz and funk.
A member of the Navajo tribe and raised in Shiprock, New Mexico, Anderson carries on the tradition of trumpet titans with Indigenous American backgrounds like Miles Davis (who was of Cherokee heritage) and Don Cherry (who was part Choctaw). He has worked with T.S Monk, Bobby Watson, and Brad Goode, and performs in the Joe Henderson Lab with a high-powered band including keyboardist Robert Muller, bassist Mike McCluhan, and drummer Khalill Brown.
