Emma Dayhuff: Jaribu
As the title suggests, the record is about both innovation and lineage: the currents that seeped into her musical DNA and perhaps became even clearer after she left Chicago. One pivotal moment came in New York, during an impromptu performance at Smalls with fellow Chicagoan Isaiah Collier. Today, Dayhuff plays in Collier's band, but here the roles are reversed: Collier joins her group alongside two pillars of the Chicago scene, percussionist Kahil El'Zabar and vocalist Dee Alexander. Together, they bring depth and fire to "Jaribu"—dedicated to bassist Jaribu Shahid.
