Creative Differences presents a rare meeting of two masters of jazz and multicultural music forms. This is no limp fusion project..its the real deal and should not be missed! Lafayette Gilchrist will open the evening with a set of piano improvisations.

Adam Rudolph and Joseph Bowie first performed together with Yusef Lateef at Lincoln Center in 2000. Since then they have collaborated in numerous projects, including a trio with Omar Sosa and most recently, in Rudolph’s Moving Pictures Ensemble. Their music is grounded in the American improvisational tradition while embracing languages, instrumentation, and cosmologies of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the African Diaspora. Decades of performance and research into these music cultures have given them the tools to create unique improvisations.

“A project of haunting power and beauty. Captivating and profoundly beautiful.” – Philadelphia Daily News
