About the Artist: Jacob O’Donnell is simultaneously a veteran of the Lexington music scene and one of its most exciting emerging artists. He cut his teeth playing in the band of Central KY royalty like Tee Dee Young, Lee Carroll, and Joslyn Hampton. In recent years, he has come into his own as a bandleader and boundary pusher. His combination of electronic processing of saxophone and looping has allowed an exploration into new sonic territory. The musical mélange is spacy and ethereal while maintaining a definitive sense of melodicism, groove, and a healthy dose of jazz improvisation.

About the Space: This will be Origins’ first concert in a brand-new location designed for an immersive listening environment and an entire multi-sensory experience within a space. Attendees will be sent the address for the location just northwest of downtown on the day of the show. There is ample parking and there will be a clear path into the space.

Who will be into this?
If you attended the Nate Smith show during Equinox Jazz Festival, you will love this. Josh Johnson, the saxophonist in that quartet, is one of Jacob’s top influences. If you like innovative jazz that relies on texture and interesting timbres, you will enjoy this show. Lastly, this one is for the artistic adventurers who are perpetually seeking new and unique experiences.
