Leila Adu Trio feat. members of PUBLIQuartet: Moonstone and Tar Sands Album Release

Leila Adu Trio feat. members of PUBLIQuartet: Moonstone and Tar Sands Album Release

April 4, 2024

Grammy-nominated composer Leila Adu (piano & organ), Jon Toscano (bass), and David Frazier (drums) join forces with members of PUBLIQuartet for the release of the highly acclaimed Moonstone and Tar Sands vinyl album.Over the last decade, Leila Adu has firmly carved her name into a space where electro-pop, avant-classical and singer-songwriter meet. The composer-performer, who hails from New Zealand and Ghana but was born in London, has performed her original songs and improvisations at festivals and concerts across Europe, the US, Russia, Ghana and Asia. A Leila Adu performance is an intensely visceral experience, leading WNYC John Schaefer to draw parallels with Nina Simone and Joanna Newsom and describe her as “a genuinely good singer, with a velvety, soulful voice.” Leila has performed solo for the BBC’s World Service and produced soundtracks for films and documentaries. Her five highly acclaimed albums between 2005 and 2017 include two recitals for Italian National Radio and Dark Joan (produced by multiple Grammy winner Steve Albini). In 2019, Leila Adu's “Asylums for the feelings” was featured on the game “Death Stranding” (Playstation), and featured on Giles Peterson’s BBC 6 Radio show with her band, Lucked In. Leila has composed for the London Sinfonietta, the Crossing, the Brentano String Quartet, Mivos String Quartet, So Percussion, Gamelan Padhang Moncar, Orchestra Wellington and Bang on a Can and Billboard charted albums. Leila's performance credits include the Ojai Music Festival, Bang on a Can, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, and Late Night with David Letterman. In 2022, Leila Adu–Gilmore was awarded a Charles Ives Composer Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
