Join Us for another very special Sunday for a rare convergence of three artists who carry the living history of the music.

This Sunday, Jesus & Jazz brings a rare convergence of three artists who carry the living history of the music: filmmaker‑bassist Adam Kahan, pianist‑composer Sonelius Smith, and drummer‑producer George Schuller. This is not a pickup trio — it’s a meeting of three historians of the sound, each tied to a different branch of the avant‑spiritual tree.

Sonelius Smith — The Eulipion Lineage

A direct link to the Rahsaan Roland Kirk / Eulipion universe, Sonelius Smith stands as one of the last active pianists shaped by that era’s fearless imagination. His work with the Eulipion Project, his deep harmonic language, and his spiritual‑percussive approach to the piano make him a living archive of the Black Creative Music tradition.

Adam Kahan — The Documentarian of the Fire

Adam Kahan isn’t just a bassist — he’s the filmmaker behind The Case of the Three Sided Dream, the definitive documentary on Rahsaan Roland Kirk. His bass playing carries that same energy: grounded, searching, and always in conversation with the ancestors. When he locks in with Sonelius, you hear history speaking in real time.

George Shuller — The Schuller Legacy Meets the Loft Era

George Schuller brings the rhythmic intelligence of the Gunther Shuller lineage and the edge of the NYC loft‑jazz movement. His drumming is architectural, elastic, and deeply attuned to the avant‑gospel spirit that Jesus & Jazz cultivates.

✨ Why This Sunday Matters

This trio represents three different doors into the same house:

• the Eulipion tradition
• the loft‑jazz revolution
• the documentary preservation of Black musical genius

Hearing them together in a sacred space is a once‑in‑a‑generation moment — a conversation across eras, aesthetics, and spiritual lineages.
