Charles Burnham
APPEARING: Celebrating Mtume: A Journey Through Alkebu-Lan (Land of The Blacks): A Night at the East @ Crown Hill Theatre
SUNDAY, JANUARY 14, 2024
The passion and fire of Charles Burnham’s violin has graced the work of many: Cassandra Wilson, James “Blood” Ulmer, Steven Bernstein, Susie Ibarra, Peter Apfelbaum, Henry Threadgill, String Trio of New York, Ted Daniel, Medeski, Martin & Wood, and many, many others. But armed with a whole new book of originals and a stellar new band, Burnham’s step into the spotlight has long been coming. Worldly and otherworldly sounds can be heard from Burnham’s musical and personal journeys as his soulful voice and violin lead you down some open roads and dark alleys, and bring you to some spots you may not have known even exist.
