Kelvin Sholar presents XO, a Jazz meets electronics program, where the principles of Jazz and electronic music are maintained: improvisation, blues harmonies, swing rhythms, authentic classic electronic themes and soundscapes.This edition of XO explores the synthesis of narrative and griot story telling; it features cited author and percussionist from Detroit Sadiq Bey on voice, and talking drum/percussion star Suleymane Touré from Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Kelvin Sholar is a Black American pianist, composer and band leader from Detroit. Press has recently labled Sholar a «modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci» and «renaissance man» because of his use of music technology as well as philosophical and mathematical work.
