New Orleans’ VERY CHERRY is a genre-melting rave jazz symphony, blending EDM, classical, jazz, Latinx, hip hop, and other sounds from modern music into a heretofore-unheard experience that so consistently blows minds, their roadies have to carry a mop.
A multi-instrumental duo born from New Orleans' experimental jazz scene, Very Cherry pairs Simon Lott’s high-octane percussion with David Polk’s live saxophone, classical piano, and electric guitar, all layered over fully original, textural EDM compositions and beats. Building on 20 years of collaboration, “Context Killer” (Lott) and “Gahdlyke” (Polk) continue to evade the status quo with Very Cherry, their latest incarnation and most unique project yet.
Infinitely evolving in its dynamic blend of composition and improvisation, Very Cherry captures the original concept of jazz and reinvents it for the 21st century with the freshest sounds from around the globe. In the hands of two of New Orleans’ most innovative and technically-skilled musicians, disparate musical influences become an explosive tour de force of rapturous deep listening and booty-shaking bliss.
