Jen Shyu and Jade Tongue celebrate their deeply personal album Zero Grasses: Ritual for the Losses on Pi Records with an evening of music at Roulette. The album and subsequent performance marks the long-awaited return of Jade Tongue, an ensemble made up of musical innovators—Ambrose Akinmusire, Mat Maneri, Thomas Morgan, and Dan Weiss—with whom Shyu has created music with for over a decade. They last appeared on her groundbreaking and highly acclaimed 2015 Pi release Sounds and Cries of the World, which NPR called: “no drive-by encounter between musical cultures, no cherry picking of exotic licks. This is research and experience, absorbed and reimagined.”
The broadcast will take place at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.
