About

Wen’ipt (Songs) is an Indigenous led contemporary jazz combo that highlights Indigenous artistry through jazz.

Wen’ipt seeks to honor and carry on a long standing tradition of indigenous peoples in jazz, from Charlie Parker (Choctaw), to Jim Pepper (Kaw/Mvskoke), and even contemporary artists such as Julia Keefe (Nimiipuu), Delbert Anderson (Navajo), and Mali Obomsawin (Abenaki)....
