This Week on Earthsongs: Delbert Anderson Trio

Formed by award-winning jazz trumpet player Delbert Anderson, The Delbert Anderson Trio is a cutting edge jazz trio composed of Delbert Anderson on Trumpet, Nicholas Lucero on Drums and Mike McCluhan on bass. Representing Delbert’s Navajo culture through melodies inspired by ancient songs of love and war, DAT combines Indigenous melodies with modern funk and jazz.
