Heat On
Doors 7:30 pm
In a jazz era that bristles with young talent, releasing an album that’s sure to be shortlisted for best debut recording of the year is impressive. But Chicago drummer and composer Lily Finnegan’s consistently enthralling project Heat On achieves something considerably more significant. Embraced by the Windy City scene in recent years, she’s returned and amplified the affection with her first album. Released by Cuneiform in June 2025, it introduces her powerhouse, multi-generational inside-out Heat On quartet featuring legendary Chicago tenor saxophonist Ed Wilkerson Jr., Chi-town alto sax great Fred Jackson Jr., and consummately versatile Nick Macri on upright and electric bass.
Trinosophes Projects is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the state of Michigan that supports live programming, exhibitions, research and publishing. We are an independent, artist-operated entity located in the city of Detroit. Contributed and earned income goes directly into the hands of the artists we work with, so if you appreciate our efforts, consider making a donation to support our ongoing mission.
