Ben LaMar Gay Ensemble – Two-Day Residency
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Ben LaMar Gay is a genuine original. An imbued composer, conjurer, channeler of cosmopolitan Blues and patently eclectic artist who Jeff Parker calls "hands down, one of my favorite musicians on the planet today."
Gay is a Southside Chicago native who was raised in the tutelage of the legendary AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians). With his first instrument, the cornet, and an intuitive sense of self-production, in youth he traversed the diversity of the city's music scenes (jazz, hip hop, house, electronic, rock, avant garde, salsa, latin jazz, et al) before embarking on a several-year residential relocation to Brazil.
Beloved by listeners and collaborators alike for his ability to absorb and poetically refract the sound of any context he's immersed in, Gay's return home to Chicago in the early 2010s marked the beginning of a compositional output that has since been referred to by WIRE Magazine as "Pan-Americana." NEW Album “YOWZERS“ was released on International Anthem this Summer.
“…Elevating the diverse sounds of earth to the heavens.” – Andy Beta, Pitchfork
“There is no one universe for Ben LaMar Gay, he just sonic booms from one sound to another." – NPR Music
