Live on KUVO: Joshua Trinidad Quartet session for KUVO’s Studio Club on YouTube, Twitch | Thursday 7/31, 11 a.m.

Denver’s own Joshua Trinidad and his Quartet are next up on KUVO’s YouTube and Twitch channels, remixed for release on Thursday, July 31, at 11 a.m. and will be available on demand. This adventurous, multi-genre session was first produced for the KUVO Studio Club in the Masterpiece Studio.

Joshua Trinidad is an Indigenous, Chicano-American trumpet player, composer, and producer from Denver, Colorado, who takes multiple styles of music such as jazz, ambient, rock, electronic, and lo-fi, as well as elements from hip hop, and effortlessly reshapes them into his unique soundscape.

His remarkable ease in handling the often-contrary conventions of "jazz" ensured a strong interest in both acoustic and electric music. This chameleon-like ability soon established him as a much sought-after musician in the southwest region of the United States as well as in Europe and Central Asia, ultimately leading to his colorful and diverse resume as a sideman. During his time recording and performing in Scandinavia, Joshua Trinidad was introduced to Giacomo Bruzzo, who welcomed him into his prestigious and much-lauded roster at RareNoise Records in London, England. Alongside recording Joshua's own material, he has recorded many studio sessions with artists such as Sage Francis, Chicano Batman, Nathaniel Rateliff, Kid Frost, DJ Lethal, Ken Burns, Riatsu, Umlaut and many artists and bands in the Denver Metro Area. Joshua Trinidad is also thriving artist on the EchoTonic Records label in Mumbai, India.

Trinidad has his own individual sound, influenced as much by the poetry of Rocky Mountain nature as by electronic piston reverb. Listening to him play, it’s easy to forget that his instrument is a trumpet.
