FourOneOne

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.” FourOneOne is proud to collaborate with Alexis Lombre on a multifaceted residency featuring Alexis alongside her inspirations, mentors, and peers, including Terri Lyne Carrington and Endea Owens; Black Earth SWAY (Nicole Mitchell, JoVia Armstrong, Coco Ellysses); Melanie Charles and DJ OOOchild; Brian Richburg; Sheree Renée Thomas; Dr. Traci Lombré; and Georgia Anne Muldrow. Learn more.
