Christian Scott in Ljubljana

A major figure in contemporary jazz, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah—nicknamed Chief Adjuah—has developed what he calls “Stretch Music,” a style that aims to transcend the traditional boundaries of the genre by incorporating multiple cultural and aesthetic influences such as hip-hop, Afrobeat, electronic music, and Afro-diasporic traditions.

Surrounded by exceptional musicians and his unique trumpet, he delivers an intense concert, both structured and open to improvisation. This performance in Ljubljana is a highlight, illustrating jazz’s ability to engage with the contemporary world, convey a committed artistic message, and bring audiences together around demanding and deeply contemporary music.
