Delbert Anderson Quartet

Saturday, September 27, 2025
Gerald C. Wilson Auditorium
Doors open at 6:30 pm; 
Concert begins at 7pm

Led by Diné (Navajo) jazz trumpeter and composer Delbert Anderson, the Delbert Anderson Quartet blends Indigenous tradition with contemporary jazz and funk to create a sound that is both deeply rooted and boldly innovative. A culture bearer and creative force in today’s jazz scene, Anderson draws inspiration from traditional Diné “spinning songs,” reimagining them through the lens of modern improvisation and rhythm.

The quartet—featuring dynamic musicians from diverse backgrounds—crafts rich, genre-crossing compositions that honor the Diné principles of Hózhó (harmony, beauty, balance) and K’é (kinship). These values infuse every performance, offering audiences a powerful and moving experience that bridges ancestral legacy and present-day expression.

More than performers, the Delbert Anderson Quartet is also committed to cultural outreach and education. Through community workshops and wellness programs, they promote self-expression, cross-cultural dialogue, and collective healing—extending the impact of their music beyond the stage.
