Zephyr & Supersense 2021 NE Tour
Steph Richards is no stranger to challenging listeners’ expectations, but the trumpeter, composer and bandleader is pushing in a still more unusual direction with Supersense. Touring with a group of brilliantly creative improvisers—James Carney, Brandon Lopez and Max Jaffe —Richards taps acclaimed multimedia artist Sean Raspet to create singular, abstract scents embedded into the concert programs, using scent in a way to prompt musicians and the audience that avoids language and representation completely.
This tour celebrates both the 2020 Supersense record release (featuring all stars Jason Moran, and Kenny Wollesen) and her upcoming 2021 release Zephyr, music created in tandem with short films by filmmaker Vipal Monga. The multi-sensory shows begin with Monga’s film projections.
