Among his merits are projects with Hancock as well as Sting, Angélique Kidjo and John Patitucci, besides having released four albums in his own name at the estimated Bllue Note label. Loueke truly embodies this year’s theme at Summer Jazz 2016: Breaking Borders. Loueke’s musical expression is one that oozes cosmopolitanism, drawing on global soundscapes, from Western Africa to New York.
