Irreversible Entanglements

Members of Irreversible Entanglements will improvise a set of music contextualized by this passage written by Julius Lester:

“Culture in a revolutionary context must be an instrument of communication, which serves to raise political awareness and consciousness, as well as serving to further intensify the commitment of the people to revolution. Culture can also be an instrument which serves as a rock in a weary land and a shelter in a time of storm. Culture is the principal mass means by which attitudes and ideology are shaped in any society. Therefore, in a revolutionary context, the responsibilities of the cultural worker are overwhelming. These responsibilities have different demands at different stages of the revolution, and it is part of the cultural worker's responsibility to be so attuned to the needs of the revolution that [they] will not be articulating one thing when another is needed.” -Julius Lester, Revolutionary Notes (1969)

Three visionary artists unite for an incandescent collaboration of cosmic Afrofuturist jazz and uplifting anthems of resistance.

For those who are yet to be acquainted with the creative chemistry and sonic provocations of poet, musician and activist Moor Mother, visual artist and musician Lonnie Holly and jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements, a spellbinding inauguration into their rapturous sound world awaits. Moor Mother’s poetic lyrics and experimental electronica interlaces harmoniously with Lonnie Holley’s rousing compositions and is complemented by the musical stylings of free-jazz radicals Irreversible Entanglements. Discover Lonnie Holly and Moor Mother’s sound world here.

For those familiar with these revolutionary artists and their powerful, prolific work, this is an unmissable chance to witness a thrilling musical rendezvous, where Moor Mother, Lonnie Holly and Irreversible Entanglements oscillate between performing together and on their own, live and mesmerisingly intimate on the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall stage.

Experience music from Moor Mother’s ‘Jazz Codes’, hailed by The Guardian as ‘a stunning continuum of Black music’, Lonnie Holly’s acclaimed recent releases including ‘Oh Me Oh My’, which was named ‘Best New Music’ by the authority that is Pitchfork magazine and material from Irreversible Entanglement’s new release Protect Your Light.

The interwoven energies of the three artists culminate in a truly magical evening of life-affirming cosmic jazz, Afrofuturist poetry, folk, blues and uplifting anthems of resistance and triumph.

Praise for the artists

‘Lonnie Holley has held a cult status among the art cognoscenti for a long time as a visual artist and performer.’ – New York Times

‘A stunning continuum of Black music… whatever its form, Ayewa lives and breathes it.’ – The Guardian (for Moor Mother)

‘One of the most emotionally affecting delineations and reimaginings of resistant Black art you’re likely to hear. Essential listening.’ – The Wire (for Irreversible Entanglements)

It’s a triple-bill of visionary sound as outsider prophet Lonnie Holley, Afrofuturist poet Moor Mother and free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements take over the Utzon Room for a night of radical catharsis.

A liberating night of visionary free jazz, hip-hop and transcendent vision

Three of American music’s most radical acts transform the Sydney Opera House Utzon Room for a visionary night of genre-defying sound, Afrofuturist free jazz and experimental noise that will leave you shaken, liberated and uplifted.

Returning to the Sydney Opera House after a legendary performance at Vivid LIVE in 2019, Alabama-born sculptor and outsider artist turned musical shaman, Lonnie Holley live channels a vision from another world right before your eyes, creating a haunting, surrealist musical and poetic landscape of transcendence, beauty and decay that recalls the likes of Gil Scott-Heron, Alice Coltrane and Arthur Russell at their best. In a storied, mythical career encompassing and surpassing sometimes brutal and tragic beginnings to his present inspiring Blakean visions, Holley has collaborated with Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective and Julia Holter, while his latest and most ambitious record, Oh Me Oh My, features contributions from Sharon Van Etten, Bon Iver and Michael Stipe.

Making her Sydney Opera House debut, Moor Mother is the solo project of Philadelphia-based artist, Afrofuturist philosopher and social activist Camae Ayewa. Dubbing her approach “Black quantum futurism”, Moor Mother draws on experimental noise, jazz, punk, hip-hop and spoken word performance to deliver revolutionary politics over radical soundscapes across acclaimed records like Black Encyclopedia of the Air (2021) and Jazz Codes (2022).

As vocalist, Ayewa also forms one fifth of the eclectic free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements, alongside bassist Luke Stewart, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, saxophonist Keir Neuringer and drummer Tcheser Holmes. Formed in 2015 as a “vehicle for Black liberation”, the band’s radical Afrofuturist sound combines revolutionary rigour and punk spirit with funk grooves and spacious electronic sounds. This is their Sydney Opera House debut.

A freewheeling, collaborative set from legendary, relentlessly hopeful ‘cosmic southerner’ Lonnie Holley; polymath musician, poet and professor Moor Mother; and the experimental, punk-inflected free-jazz quintet Irreversible Entanglements.

Three of America’s most cosmic and visionary artists join forces for an incandescent collaboration.

Mystic performer and visual artist Lonnie Holley and prophetic jazz poet Moor are joined by revolutionary free-jazz ensemble Irreversible Entanglements, who will also perform new material from their Impulse! Records debut, Protect Your Light.

Lonnie Holley and Moor Mother bring their collaborative chemistry together as well as performing their own, universally acclaimed recent releases — Lonnie Holley’s Oh Me Oh My, which was named Best New Music on Pitchfork, and Moor Mother’s Jazz Codes, which The Guardian hailed as ‘a stunning continuum of Black music’.

The interwoven energies of these three artists add up to a magical, life-affirming brew of cosmic jazz, afrofuturist poetry, folk, blues and uplifting anthems of resistance and triumph.

With support by Wallonie-Bruxelles International.

Farida Amadou is a self-taught bass player based in Liège, Belgium. Combining different musical genres including blues, jazz, and hip-hop, the electric bass is her main instrument.

THE CARETAKER AND MOOR MOTHER’S BLACK ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE AIR

Unsound New York

Lincoln Center Presents

Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall

Monday, December 04, 2023 at 8:00 pm

Continuing a decade-long relationship, Unsound Festival returns to Lincoln Center with Leyland James Kirby, performing as The Caretaker. Over the past 25 years, James has released more than a dozen full-length albums which were initially inspired by the trapped-in-time ballroom from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining before then exploring audio representations of memory deterioration. His explorations of nostalgia and deterioration recreate the atmosphere of a 1930s dance hall with a warped, confusing and haunting verisimilitude. The avant-jazz poet and musician Moor Mother opens the evening with the premiere of a brand new performance based on her 2021 album Black Encyclopedia of the Air. In this first-ever live presentation, Moor Mother will celebrate the poetry and spoken word traditions of the '60s and '70s, featuring an array of special guest appearances by legendary artists including Armand Hammer (Billy Woods & Elucid), lojii, Lonnie Holley, the innovative jazz band Irreversible Entanglements, dancer Kayla Farrish, and tap dancer Melissa Almaguer, with projections by Samvel Krajian.

Irreversible Entanglements’ third full-length album, 2021’s ‘Open The Gates’, reverberates as fresh and exciting now as it did back then. Fittingly, the free jazz collective met amidst an event protesting police brutality; their last record sees them continue to demand liberation through a melancholic exploration of the post-colonial debris surrounding us all. Their palette is expanded, and, yet, the brush strokes render the same pictures, only broader this time around, as they burgeon the rage felt since their 2017 self-titled debut LP.

Irreversible Entanglements + Angel Bat Dawid presents 'Requiem For Jazz'

Double program of exquisite jazz at the crossroads between Black Lives Matter and Afrofuturism

PRESS SIDE

'Sun Ra's interplanetary ethos shaped the Afrofuturist movement that informs the work of Angel Bat Dawid and other artists like Moor Mother.'

AQUILES NAVARRO & JOÃO VALINHO

TICKETS HERE

Aquiles Navarro é parte integrante do super grupo força da natureza Irrevirsible Entanglements, expressão free jazz de Chicago unificada pela voz de Moor Mother. Navarro nasceu no Panamá e, desde cedo, desenvolveu o seu dom musical ao trompete pela sabedoria de duas pessoas-chave, Victor Paz e Carlos Garnett - que chegou a gravar com Miles Davis e Pharoah Sanders. Acabou por mudar-se para Boston, anos mais tarde, onde fez o conservatório e, imediatamente, se começou a integrar na comunidade local. Depois de várias passagens por Portugal, como artista de livre pensamento e apto à colaboração, juntou-se a João Valinho para vários concertos e gravações inclusive. Valinho, já passado pela Lisa em trio com Rodrigo Amado e Hernâni Faustino, repete o duo com Aquiles em momento solene para novo encontro criativo de música improvisada.

In console, prima e dopo i set dal vivo, Radio Raheem Soundsystem.
