About the event

Lauded as D.C.’s “major jazz French horn player” by the Washington Post, and named one of 2023's "artists to watch" by DCist, Abe Mamet is a composer and instrumentalist committed to using his music to ground himself, his fellow musicians, and his audiences more deeply in the spaces they occupy daily. That commitment involves exploring the use of the French horn in groove-oriented improvised music (informed by the traditions of jazz/creative music/Black American Music), and expanding the technical and theoretical limitations of that instrument. In March 2023, Abe took part in 577 Records' "Sounds of Freedom" Residency in Canale Monterano, Italy. In 2024, Abe received the Prince George’s County Arts and Humanities Council’s Community Grant Award, which supported a major new work for septet: "levitate the heavy part," out February 2025 on LMB records.
