Description

Skrontch Music is project led by saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Byron Asher that explores the histories and lineages of jazz in the South through contemporary soundscapes. Featuring a ten-piece New Orleans-based ensemble, Skrontch Music’s debut album incorporates elements of sound collage and text from primary source documents to address the intertwined histories of the formation of New Orleans jazz and anti–Jim Crow activism. The ensemble will present material that uses similar techniques to investigate the blues and the radically political and musical themes that are embedded within them. Sponsored by the Center for the Study of Southern Culture and the Department of Music.
