Jalen Baker’s: Pulse Of A People

Jalen Baker has composed a new suite of music which is based on the happenings,
culture, and importance of the Black communities of Houston’s 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wards.

The suite will be performed by a 9 piece ensemble that includes both Jalen Baker’s Jazz Quintet as well as a string quartet. The performance will reflect on events and people that helped to shape the cultural identity of the Black communities in these historic neighborhoods.
