Album Release Concert: Layale Chaker & Sarafand :"Radio Afloat" 
7pm Tuesday June 4th, 2024
Nublu - 151 Avenue C  New York, NY 10009

Layale Chaker's new album with her chamber jazz quintet Sarafand sits at the crossroads of contemporary Arabic Maqam, Jazz, and free improvisation, and is inspired by the poetry of Ounsi el-Hage, and is a reflection on the intertwined destinies of people and the natural world, which manifest even louder in times of collective pain; a commentary on the ebb and flow of politics of power and conflict that further the vulnerability of the land and those who tend to it.

Sarafand features Phillip Golub (piano and microtonal keyboard), Jake Charkey (cello) Sam Minaie (bass), and John Hadfield (drums).
