Vandever’s music has quickly and wi dely gained traction in the last few years despite the fact hat their styl e has been consistently difficult to pin down, boasting a compositional sc ope ranging from the palatial modern jazz of their quartet work (notably f eaturing guitarist Mary Halvorson) to the synthetic, gauze-like droning am bience of their solo material, their compositional practice draws from the ir love of both songs and improvisation, creating a landscape of sounds th at resonate in the body and hold the listener. This dexterity has not gone unnoticed, with The Wire asserting, “Vandever has never sounded more assu red and in control of their many strengths.”

In Bloom, their 2019 debut alb um, and its followup Regrowth (New Amsterdam, 2022) swiftly established Va ndever as a compelling bandleader in jazz circles—a group format they retu rned to on Another View (Northern Spy, 2025) and still engage in regularly in live performance.

Recognized by NPR as part of the “new class of jazz artists pushing the music forward,” Vandever’s debut solo album We F ell In Turn (AKP Records, 2023) signaled a separate path being explored si multaneously. The album features solo works for trombone, voice and electr onics, laying the groundwork for a new sound to be further developed. Mana , Vandever’s new album on Chicago’s International Anthem Recording Co,, le ans into that development: solo trombone filtered through a well-dialed pe dalboard, manipulated live; spare piano as an intermittent anchor; electro acoustic interplay simultaneously echoing and transforming the long-note m elodicism of Vandever’s melancholic brass work; head-on, unambiguous, and deeply personal lyricism.

After attending Juilliard, they began tour ing and performing internationally both solo and with their quartet. Their work as a side-person is expansive, performing with artists ranging from Shabaka, Joel Ross, and Immanuel Wilkins, to Harry Styles, Japanese Breakf ast, and Moses Sumney. Vandever has been commissioned to write works for g roups and individuals including Tesla Quartet, The Westerlies, Katherine K yu Hyeon Lim, and Hats & Heels Duo and is also a founding member of ti lt—a Brooklyn-based collective with Isabel Crespo Pardo and Carmen Quill.< /p> BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Kalia Vandever (International Anthem) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
