In a continuation of an earlier discussion about the release of his new album Project Freedom, Jordan Hamilton tells Cara Lieurance he’s been thinking about the contradiction that “freedom” on stage is achieved when a musician puts in years of practice. He says Juneteenth is a day to think about how freedom applies to us today, both externally and internally. Hamilton also talks about valuing his long-term friendships tested by time and life changes.
During the conversation, Hamilton shares two more tracks from Project Freedom, "Serene" and "Fun." They also sample one by English jazz drummer Yussef Dayes.
Hamilton will perform at Bell’s Beer Garden with his trio, keyboardist Grayson Nye and soundscape artist The Lasso at 8 pm on Wednesday, June 26, opening up for the Yussef Dayes Experience.
Tickets and more information are available at the Bell’s website.
