Gabriel Teodros, is an MC/Producer from South Seattle who released From the Ashes of Our Homes late last year, followed by Embers this past May. Ashes opens with a reflection on the day Teodros fled from an actual house fire, and expands to a full-length meditation on the loss of home and safety so many of us experienced recently as a result of wars, the pandemic, the climate catastrophe, and more —and how to build something new from the ashes of all of our collective homes. October 2024 also marks 10 years since the release of one of Teodros’ most celebrated albums, Evidence of Things Not Seen, which will see it’s first vinyl release just in time for Earshot Jazz. For tonight’s lineup we have Gabriel Teodros on vocals, Camilo Estrada on bass, Chris Patin on drums Darrius Willrich on keys, and Ahamefule J. Oluo on trumpet
Opening for Teodros tonight is another Seattle stalwart, Afrocop, described by The Stranger as “psychadelic soul jazz shape-shifters.” The trio, known for their dynamic creativity, includes keyboardist Noel Brass Jr., drummer Andy Sells, and bassist Carlos Tulloss. Flamboyant and versatile they can beautify the background like ambient masters, get up with it à la Miles Davis’ filthiest electric-era band, or fling you into deepest, fusionoid space on a nanosecond’s notice. Their latest album is the self-titled Afrocop.
