Mali Obomsawin Xtet

9/28 Thursday, 7pm

Indoor concert

Mali Obomsawin is one of GRAMMY.com’s “top ten Jazz Artists to Watch this year.” She is an award winning bassist/composer from Odanak First Nation. Her debut album Sweet Tooth (Out of Your Head Records 2022) has garnered international acclaim and quickly established her as a rising jazz star and an innovative folk music visionary. Seamlessly melding chorale-like spirituals, folk melodies, and post-Albert Ayler free jazz, Obomsawin's compositions occupy a universe completely their own.

Sweet Tooth has topped year end lists from NPR, The Guardian, Jazz Critics Poll, and more, delivering a suite of "gripping, dynamic, and thunderous music." —Jazz Times
