The JuJu Exchange has one foot in jazz, while the other one skips around — by design. The quartet is a musical partnership between trumpeter Nico Segal (aka Donnie Trumpet in his prior project, The Social Experiment, with Chance The Rapper), pianist Julian Reid, drummer Everett Reid and bassist Lane Beckstrom, all childhood friends who came up through Chicago Public School music programs together. The purpose of the JuJu Exchange is to build on past experiences in order to make a genre-bending style of music that looks to the future while dealing with the problems of the present. The group’s 2017 debut album, Exchange, drew on hip-hop, jazz, classical, pop and global music, to bring rhythmically savvy, improvisational sounds to people who may not know they like jazz. "Jazz is about that communication, that exchange between musicians and what everybody is hearing," Segal once said in a 2017 interview. Adding, "We aren't a traditional jazz band at all...we feed off of all types of music."
