Flying Lotus live in New York

Experience Flying Lotus live on July 9th

Steven Ellison, known professionally as Flying Lotus, will be performing at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on July 9, 2026. His musical style is broadly categorized as experimental electronic music, often incorporating elements of jazz, hip-hop, and IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). Characterized by complex rhythms, atmospheric textures, and a distinctive use of sampling, his work frequently defies easy genre classification. He’s released critically acclaimed albums like *Cosmogramma* and *You're Dead!*, and has also produced extensively for artists such as Kendrick Lamar.

The Blue Note Jazz Club holds a significant place in jazz history. Founded in 1981 (though its roots trace back to a prior establishment in the same location from 1948), it quickly became renowned for hosting legendary performers like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, and countless others. The club is celebrated for its intimate setting and excellent acoustics. Throughout its history it has been instrumental in documenting live jazz performances through recordings – many landmark albums were recorded *at* the Blue Note.
