Black Art Jazz Collective is a collaborative sextet started in 2013 by Jeremy Pelt, Wayne Escoffery and Johnathan Blake.
A cooperative unit made up of six top-notch improvisers, all seasoned but all relatively young, the Black Art Jazz Collective is dedicated to both recognizing the African American foundation of jazz and drawing attention to relevant social and political concerns. They present music composed by the collective.
They have established themselves as one of the most important new groups in jazz. They are described by Time Out as “comprised of Jazz’s finest rising stars.”
