Whiteside Theatre presents 13 Moons: Grayhawk Perkins & Mezcal Jazz Unit
13 Moons features Grayhawk Perkins, a New Orleans-born Native American from the Choctaw and Houma tribes, who will perform a unique blend of blues, folk and jazz intertwined with tribal rhythms, language and storytelling, with the France-based Mezcal Jazz Unit band. At the heart of the collaboration is a collection of chants in the Mobilian trade language. Grayhawk is one of the last speakers of Mobilian, having learned the language from his grand mother. His compositions are based on traditional songs referring to the thirteen moons of the Native American calendar. Emmanuel de Gouvello, French bass player and composer, adds his own musical universe to the compositions which he arranged using harmonies and rhythms from jazz.
