About The Event
Music from the Deserts is a project of Santa Fe-based composer/sax player Chris Jonas, featuring Diné trumpet player Delbert Anderson, bassist Cyrus Campell and drummer Jonah Minkus. Deserts explores music written in complete solitude winter camping over 3 years during the Pandemic, created in Arizona's Barry Goldwater Missile Range and the Trump Border Wall that cuts across Arizona's granite Tinajas Altas. This collection of music is in the midst of touring worldwide in 2023-24. Jonas’s music contains some elements of jazz while mixing elements that are quirky, delicate, weirdly groovy, polyphonic, and a mixture of the disjointed and melodic.
