Irreversible Entanglements are a band who cultivate the liberation technologies of jazz and associated Black music-root, stem, and branch-into the future.
The band emerged organically, out of deep friendships, mutual admiration, ad hoc formations, and a shared activist concern for the beloved legacy of all Black life and culture.
International in scope yet indebted to, influenced by, and committed to their specific communities, the band pulls zero punches and reserves no energy in intrepid live sets that proclaim revolutionary love for the people.
