The JuJu Exchange w/ Kopano at Sleeping Village - Friday, May 16 2025 | Discotech

$20 Adv, $25 Dos + Fees | 21+

The JuJu Exchange is a musical partnership of three childhood friends from Chicago: Nico Segal, Julian Davis Reid and Nova Zaii. The group, which usually tags in a bassist for live shows, blends sensibilities of straight-ahead jazz with hip-hop production in hopes to inspire the listener to participate in the kinds of exchange the world desperately needs. They have played around the US, including San Francisco Jazz Fest, Chicago Jazz Fest, San Jose Jazz Fest, and New York City Winter Jazzfest. Downbeat has called their work “meticulously produced” and Billboard calls the project an “interdisciplinary collaboration that plays on the connectedness of jazz in the same manner it complements hip-hop’s collaborative free-flowing nature.” Their past releases include Exchange (2017), The Eternal Boombox EP (2020), and JazzRx (2023), and they are excited to release a new record in 2025.

Presented by Sleeping Village.
