Event Information

Brooklyn-based jazz/hip hop artist Cisco Swank flexes his range following Anderson .Paak & Anthony Fantano-backed indie triumph “All The Same” w/ “No Funny”, a self-assured, beaming alt-hip hop track feat. Yoshi T. Cisco is renowned in the jazz & hip-hop world for his work w/ Saba, Noname & Laura Elliott, and glowing reviews from NPR, Lyrical Lemonade, & The New York Times. On May 31, Cisco Swank will release More Better, a musically textured and sprawling record that represents the culmination of what he’s learned over years of formal training as a jazz musician and from sonic experiments. In 2022 Cisco set the foundation of his sound through a heavenly collaborative project with Luke Titus; eleven tracks weave together caffeinated, off-kilter beats, angelic chord progressions, dusty bebop motifs, and a palette of sonic flourishes, complete with features Saba, Femdot, Braxton Cook, and additional production and vocals from Phoelix. The duo took off on a small tour, packing out Los Angeles (Resident), Chicago (The Hideout), New York (Baby’s All Right), and Boston (Cafe 939) with support from Elton Auro, Cartoons, Malaya, and Tiny Habits. Amidst the previous tour and now, Cisco has played numerous solo gigs in major cities and has assisted playing keys for artists like Noname and Erykah Badu, growing the demand to see him in live format. Gathering inspiration from a plethora of contemporary spaces and weaving intricate webs of jazz, hip-hop and R&B, Cisco’s talent is rooted in his uncanny ability to play just about any instrument. Called a “rising multi-hyphenate” in New York City by Okayplayer, Cisco has earned early press praise from Lyrical Lemonade, NPR, The NYTimes, i-D, Chicago Reader, and Pigeons and Planes who recently named one of April’s “Best New Artists” calling his artistic sensibilities “similar to contemporary legends like Thundercat, Steve Lacy, Pharrell, and Tyler, The Creator—able to both challenge and satisfy listeners.”. In an effort to render his name indelible in not only jazz communities but any and all fan bases he touches, Swank’s much anticipated debut is one to watch. Presented by Gold-Diggers.
