JJJJJerome Ellis’s diverse body of work includes contemplative soundscapes using saxophone, flute, dulcimer, electronics, and vocals; scores for plays and podcasts; albums combining spoken word with ambient and jazztextures; theatrical explorations involving live music and storytelling; and music-video-poems that seek to transfigure historical archives.
His debut album, The Clearing (2021), was called “an astonishing, must-listen project” (The Guardian). It was co-produced by NNA Tapes and The Poetry Project, and it was released with an accompanying book published by Wendy’s Subway.
JJJJJerome collaborates with James Harrison Monaco as James & Jerome. Their recent work explores themes of border crossing and translation through music-driven narratives.They have received commissions from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
Ars Nova.
JJJJJerome’s solo and collaborative musical/performance work has been presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Venice Biennale 2023; Haus der Kunst (Munich) and the Center for African American Poetry and Poetics (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), among others.
