ladyybirdd (flutist Gina Izzo) celebrates the release of her debut album Tomorrow's Yesterday. Far from conventional, the music is set to a landscape of electro-acoustic composition integrating improvisation and analog FX with the flute at the center. While a flute may seem an unlikely candidate for musical insurrection, ladyybirdd brings dynamic intensity and unrestricted adventure.
Tomorrow's Yesterday, out August 25 on Innova Recordings, features contributions from Ambrose Akinmusire, Ian Rosenbaum, Erika Dohi, Immanuel Wilkins, and Nick Dunston, and is produced by Joseph Branciforte. For this performance, Izzo will be joined by Joseph Branciforte, Erika Dohi, Immanuel Wilkins, and others to be announced.

About Immanuel Wilkins, saxophone
Immanuel Wilkins is a saxophonist, composer, arranger, and bandleader from the greater Philadelphia-area. While growing up, he honed his skills in the church and studied in programs dedicated to teaching jazz music like the Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts. Moving to New York in 2015, Wilkins proceeded to earn his bachelor’s degree in Music at Juilliard (studying with the saxophonists Bruce Williams and the late Joe Temperley) while simultaneously establishing himself as an in-demand sideman, touring in Japan, Europe, South America, The United Arab Emirates, and the United States and working and/or recording with artists like Jason Moran, the Count Basie Orchestra, Delfeayo Marsalis, Joel Ross, Aaron Parks, Gerald Clayton, Gretchen Parlato, Lalah Hathaway, Solange Knowles, Bob Dylan, and Wynton Marsalis to name just a few. It was also during this same period that he formed his quartet featuring his long-time bandmates: Micah Thomas (piano), Daryl Johns (bass), and Kweku Sumbry (drums).
