Irreversible Entanglements

Forward-looking free jazz band

The five-piece band Irreversible Entanglements came together organically, out of close friendships, mutual admiration and a shared activist commitment to the heritage of black culture. The group operates internationally, but the members are also committed to their local communities. On stage, too, they do not spare themselves and give everything to convey their message of revolutionary love for the people. The band members are based in Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC. What unites them is that despite their uncompromising attitude, they receive universal acclaim: 'Luke Stewart, the high priest on bass; Aquiles Navarro, the electric universe in human form on trumpet; Keir Neuringer, the cosmologist with siren on sax; Tcheser Holmes, the griot and mythmaker on drums; and Camae Ayewa on vocals, the Moor Mother with a spiritual pen' (Alex Smith).
