Delbert Anderson, a Diné jazz trumpeter, composer, and educator, merges Navajo “spinning songs” with jazz and funk, creating a unique sound in the Native American jazz scene.

Leading the Delbert Anderson Quartet, he incorporates elements from Diné culture and landscapes into his music. Noteworthy projects include “The Long Walk: 1,674 Days,” reflecting on Navajo history, and a forthcoming tribute to Indigenous Jazz legends Don Cherry and Jim Pepper. Anderson also spearheads the “Build A Band” program, teaching jazz improvisation to youth, emphasizing Diné values. His work has earned acclaim from Chamber Music America, the First Peoples Fund, and coverage in The New York Times and NPR.

This is a free outdoor performance. No tickets required.

Limited seating will be available. Low back lawn chairs are welcome.
