The Delbert Anderson Trio comes to Light Hall for a livestream event.
Delbert Anderson, member of the Navajo tribe, is a professional trumpet performer, pedagogue, and jazz musician. Born in Shiprock, NM, Anderson discovered his interest in music playing drums and singing for the church. Anderson is known for creating the Delbert Anderson Trio (DAT) and being a developer of music educational programs and community projects.
Delbert discovered his passion for jazz and improvisation in his early years of education. Anderson went on to attend Eastern New Mexico University studying music education and trumpet performance. Anderson credits his educators: Janet Isham, John Kennedy, Christopher Beaty and Dustin Seifert – for his success in the music field. Anderson now resides in Farmington, NM where he’s active as a performer, composer and educator.
“Anderson’s music puts Navajo culture through melodies inspired by ancient songs of love and war while fusing them with modern jazz and funk.”
– NPR Earthsongs
Anderson regularly performs with his new collaborative group DDAT, which is the Delbert Anderson Trio featuring lyricist Def-i, an ensemble inspired by ancient Native American melodies fused with jazz, hip hop, funk and soul. Anderson has performed with today’s jazz greats T.S Monk, Bobby Watson, Brad Goode and many others. In addition to his active performing schedule, Anderson directs the San Juan College Jazz Big Band and Combo in Farmington, NM and is a private lessons instructor. He has been actively involved with his mentor program NAMP – Native American Music Program, the Native American Composers Initiative, Western Arts Alliance, Advancing Indigenous Performers, Association of Performing Arts Professionals, National Band Association, National Association of Music Merchants and International Trumpet Guild.
