 With grant support from the French-American Jazz Exchange Program, Cuban-American saxophonist/percussionist/composer **Yosvany Terry** and French pianist **Baptiste Trotignon** present a unique and exciting program inspired by the rich and diverse musical traditions that emerged from the African Diaspora in the United States and former French colonies in the Americas.

 Named ***Ancestral Memories***, the project captures the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies of the Caribbean, New Orleans and French Louisiana, re-imagined through 21st century aesthetics and a jazz sensibility. The ensemble also features the extraordinary rhythm section of Terry’s brother, bassist **Yunior Terry**, and drummer **Clarence Penn**. ***Ancestral Memories***’ debut album will be released in October 2017 on OKeh/Sony Records.

 Nominated for a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album, Yosvany Terry’s most recent album New Throned King (5Passion, 2014) was based on a similar concept and seamlessly blended modern jazz with the ceremonial music of the West African and Cuban Arara culture.
