Listening Lyrics – April 10, 2026: Alex Jenkins talks about his new nationally acclaimed album Black Bird

Fri, 04/10/2026 - 4:51pm | Pieter Pastoor

A Jenkins 2.jpg

This week on Listening Lyrics, it's the Alex Jenkins Trio! These Sacramento musicians are among the most talented in the region, truly creative, and promise music full of beautiful surprises. The trio's latest record, Black Bird, received a four-star review in All About Jazz and is being played on radio stations across the country. Due to his in-depth study of the music of different cultures, Alex’s playing transcends musical traditions and boundaries. His expression of rhythm is heavily influenced by his study of Tabla (a North Indian classical percussion instrument). As a result, he has become known for his creative approach to music and his unique ability to fuse rhythmic ideas from various disciplines into one cohesive sound. Hear Listening Lyrics Fridays on KDRT 95.7fm + KDRT.org! Listen anytime via the web and the podcasts.
