Nico Segal (fka Donnie Trumpet) Releases New Album Exchange With New Band the JuJu: Listen

Nico Segal (the Chance collaborator formerly known as Donnie Trumpet) has a new band and a new album. The group is a four-piece jazz ensemble called the JuJu. In addition to Segal, it features pianist Julian Reid, bassist Lane Beckstrom, and drummer Everett Beckstrom (as Noisey notes). Their debut record is called Exchange. It features Jamila Woods (on “We Good”), as well as additional production from fellow Chance collaborator Nate Fox; it was also recorded and mixed by Fox and Segal. Listen to the seven-song effort below; scroll down for the JuJu’s performance of “Morning Of” on “Windy City Live.”

Exchange follows Surf, Segal’s 2015 collaboration with the Social Experiment. Last year, he and Fox joined Paul Simon on the track “Stranger.”

Jamila Woods is performing at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival. Get tickets to her Sunday performance here.
