The JuJu Exchange is a groundbreaking quartet led by Nico Segal, Grammy-winning trumpeter for Chance the Rapper and many more. With one foot in jazz and the other foot in everything else, The JuJu Exchange is a musical partnership between childhood friends who came up through Chicago Public School music programs. Nico Segal, Julian Redi, Everett Reid, and Lane Beckstrom use the ensemble as a way to build off of their past experiences to make a genre-bending style of music that looks to the future while addressing the problems of the present. Drawing from hip-hop, jazz, classical, and pop music, The JuJu Exchange will take you where anything is possible. Their explosive live show is a joyous exchange between band members and the audience.

The musicians:

Nico Segal - trumpet

Julian Davis Reid - keyboards

Nova Zaii - drums & Nova Portals
