Sasha Berliner

Grammy-winning Trumpeter, Composer, and Producer Nabaté Isles follows up his acclaimed 2018 release Eclectic Excursions with his second album - En Motion. Referencing the origins of Jazz as dance music, Isles seeks to bring that bounce that brings joy and movement back to the forefront. Blending 21st century sounds with improvisation, and looking to his influences of the late 20th century - Donald Byrd and The Blackbyrds, Quincy Jones, Tom Browne, Roy Ayers and The Roots - Nabaté promises an upbeat record for all to hear. The lineup is of course, stellar; the core band is Sam Barsh (also the album’s producer), Eric Harland, Kaveh Rastegar, David Gilmore, Rachel Eckroth, and guests include James Francies, Ben Wendel, Victor Provost, Sasha Berliner, Kenny Davis, Mark Williams, Butter, Allakoi Peete, Suphala and Raydar Ellis. Added featured performers are Badia Farha, MuMu Fresh, Kardinal Offishall and the iconic Chuck D.
