Samora Pinderhughes at Blue Note
Oct. 7-8. 8PM and 10:30PM. $43.41.

The singer, pianist, and multimedia artist Samora Pinderhughes has worked with Common, Herbie Hancock, and playwright Anna Deveare Smith. Samora knows that sometimes a gentle nudge is more persuasive than a shout or a shove. So his songs tend to be an understated mix of jazz, classical, and ambient electronic sounds, with softly sung lyrics about social and racial inequality, prison and police reform, and pleas for compassion and understanding. Samora Pinderhughes plays two shows on both Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 at the Blue Note.
