DC documentary filmmaker Christoph Green created a bold series called "FLUX." The show is about the lives of trans people.

He commissioned me to score the series. The series is excellent and unflinching, sometimes inspiring, sometimes dark. It's also often entertaining and fun.

Note to self: Library Of Congress has dope shows all the time and I always forget this.

A couple weeks ago, Tyshawn Sorey Trio played. I didn’t learn about it until I saw photos on Instagram.
