Given the precocity of her artistry, it’s unsurprising that Alexis Lombre has often found herself filling the role of wunderkind sideperson among seasoned players, including in groups helmed by Nicole Mitchell, Ernest Dawkins, and many others. This event sees Alexis taking up the mantle of bandleader, shining a spotlight, as she puts it, “on who I truly am as an artist, not a sideperson: me.” Alexis and the prodigious New Orleanian percussionist Brian Richburg will perform an evening of Alexis’ original songs, an “eclectic mix of everything new and old,” in her words, including jazz, R&B; everything “fresh, dynamic, precise.”
Fusing blues and church gospel with African and Caribbean-inspired rhythms of New Orleans street bands, Brian Richburg, Jr. began honing his craft at age five, inspired by his father Brian Richburg Sr., the pastor and musician. A Berklee graduate who returns often to New Orleans to perform, Brian has toured extensively with legends including Nicholas Payton, Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr., Ellis Marsalis, Delfeayo Marsalis, Amina Figaro.
Still in her twenties, the pianist, vocalist, composer, and producer Alexis Lombre established herself as a force out of Chicago’s legendary musical universe while barely out of her teens. Living, learning and working in the vibrant musical cultures of Chicago, Detroit, New York, and now Los Angeles, Alexis’ cosmopolitan musical vision is formed in dialogue with textures of contemporary urban Black experience in these cities. Dissolving “boundaries” between Black music’s so-called “genres”—including R&B, avant-garde, gospel, soul, hip-hop and jazz—is part of the living tradition she carries. As she puts it, “Separation is an illusion. Especially within the genres of Black music.” From April 3–18, 2025, FourOneOne is proud to collaborate with Alexis Lombre on a multifaceted residency, featuring Alexis alongside her inspirations, mentors, and peers. www.fouroneononeprojects.org.
