Jonah Parzen-Johnson makes music for baritone saxophone & flute that challenges listeners with experimental textures & forms while embracing them with warm approachable melodies. A Chicago native and longtime Brooklyn resident, Jonah has performed solo in more than a dozen countries across four continents. He has brought his music to festivals in Berlin & Helsinki, concert halls in Istanbul & Brugge, rock clubs in Rotterdam & Montreal, and Jazz clubs in New York & Chicago. His solo performances are a deeply intimate experience in which he endeavors to share who he is, how he sees our world, and the temporary moments of community that we can all embrace together. His latest work for solo baritone saxophone and flute, “You’re Never Really Alone”, is an emotionally evocative celebration of the precious relationship between improvisor and audience.
