Sean Jones: Dizzy Spellz

Sean Jones: Dizzy Spellz

Presented by Green Music Center at Sonoma State University at Green Music Center

Dizzy Spellz offers an Afro-futuristic lens exploring the intersection of cultural and spiritual dilemmas within the African Diaspora through the music of Dizzy Gillespie. From his coming of age through racial and social dynamics in the Deep South, creating and curating the bebop movement in New York, to his spiritual journey to Africa and his dive into Afro-Cuban music and the Baha’i Faith, Dizzy was very much ahead of his time.

Sean Jones (trumpeter/musical director) and Brinae Ali (choreographer/tap dancer/vocalist) have teamed up to create a piece that fuses elements of jazz, tap, hip hop, and bebop to articulate the social vernacular of the African-American experience.
