International Anthem Summer Showcase at Le Poisson Rouge

About

Chicago-based label International Anthem presents its first New York showcase. Bringing together label artists and extended family members – all marquee players from Chicago’s creative music lineage (a few of whom are expats to New York) – the showcase is headlined by drummer/producer Makaya McCraven fronting a quintet with Junius Paul (bass), Justefan (vibraphone), Greg Ward (sax), and Marquis Hill (trumpet). Also performing is the decades-deep Chicago Underground Duo of cornetist/electronicist Rob Mazurek & drummer Chad Taylor, as well as a new quartet led by trumpeter Jaimie Branch with Tomeka Reid on cello, Jason Ajemian on bass, and Chad Taylor on drums (double duty).
