The members of the all-star Artifacts Trio—-flutist Nicole Mitchell, drummer Mike Reed, and DC native cellist Tomeka Reid-—have long been recognized as torchbearers of Chicago’s innovative jazz scene. Their music advances the organization’s motto, “Ancient to the Future,” celebrating African-American culture while reaching across genres and integrating new, progressive ideas into the legacy of jazz and composition.

Tomeka Reid explains the trio’s intent: “The aim with our first record was to bring our own approach to some of our favorite pieces, pieces that we thought would work especially well with our distinctive instrumentation. For this second album, we wanted to underscore that theme while also recognizing that we ourselves are also composers—we want to contribute to that canon of music."
