Anthony Tidd Quite Sane

Anthony Tidd is a creative musician, composer, producer, educator and curator who over a 30 year career has notably performed with, and produced songs on multi-platinum albums for, many artists including; The Roots, Steve Coleman, Meshell Ndegeocello, David Byrne, Macy Gray, Wayne Krantz, Zap Mama, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Lady Gaga, The Black Eyed Peas, Orrin Evans, Fergie, Jill Scott, Ursula Rucker, and many more. His debut album, Quite Sane – The Child of Troubled Times (2002), which fuses elements of hip-hop and funk with jazz, quickly became a modern staple within creative music circles.

Twenty years after that landmark debut, Tidd reconvened the project, leading to the release of his long-awaited follow-up, To Kill a Child of Troubled Times. The album is composed of three distinct EPs, together forming a trilogy that traces a child’s journey of our central protagonist through different perspectives and stages of his life – and on a deeper level tells the story of the universal child of troubled times, as reflected in our modern society. Bringing Quite Sane to the stage of Solar Myth for the first time, Tidd will celebrate the release of the album’s third and final chapter, Epilogue, which offers audiences an immersive experience that bridges groove, abstraction, and storytelling in real time. The music distills African diasporic rhythm, hip-hop language, funk, jazz aesthetic, and advanced improvisation into a focused, emotionally resonant sonic landscape.
