Support 88Nine And This Artist:
Olu Dara (born Charles Jones III in Louisville,
Mississippi in 1941) is an
American trumpeter, cornetist, guitarist and singer. He first became known as a
jazz musician, playing alongside
avant-garde musicians such as
David Murray and
Henry Threadgill. With his first album under his own name, 1998's In the World: From Natchez to New York, Dara revealed another aspect of his musical personality: the leader and singer of a band immersed in
African-American tradition, playing an
eclectic mix of
blues, jazz, and storytelling, with tinges of
funk, African
popular music and
reggae.
