About:

Indigo X Tromblau will be an evening of musical exploration and storytelling. We invite You to join us for two sets of original compositions all rooted in music of the Black and Jewish Diasporas. This show is an extension of Indigo Sessions, a show series founded by Aliyah Jones, meant to celebrate and nurture the artistry of Black Women and Queer artists. Indigo is excited to watch the series evolve with each new space it exists within.  

Indigo is a musical collective led by Aliyah Jones. Aliyah Jones is a vocalist, composer, and curator based in Chicago, IL. The importance of music was instilled in her at an early age. Every milestone, celebration, or simple journey to school was scored with anything from the sultry serenades of Whitney Houston to the invigorating bounce of house music. Aliyah began her formal training at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artist and most recently  graduated from the Jazz Studies program at DePaul University. The music of Indigo centers her love of storytelling and exploration, while honoring the traditions of Jazz, RnB, and Neo-Soul.  

Tromblau&Friends is a Chicago based band established by trombonist Emma Blau in May 2022. The band plays Emma’s original compositions which seek to emma-u-late her life through sound. Inspired by Black American Music and Jewish Music her compositions combine freedom, play, and prayer in the pursuit of creating and entering alternate realities. Tromblau&Friends have performed at numerous venues in the Chicagoland area such as Fulton Street Collective, Andersonville Arts Weekend, Prairie Moon, The California Clipper, Dorothy's Downstairs, Clara, and The Whistler. Emma has also performed her music in London at Oliver’s Jazz Bar. Emma has a bi-weekly DJ residency in Andersonville where she spins vinyl. She recently established a new jam session in Chicago, “The Playdate”  in partnership with food justice organizer and DJ, Nick Davis aka nick2bomb. The jam session encourages musicians and attendees alike to access the imagination of childhood. This session invites DJ nick2bomb to be the fifth member of a quintet combining House, Disco, Hip-Hop and Jazz.
