A London-born, Harlem-based Guggenheim Fellow, Producer, Grammy-winning bassist, who continues to maintain a studio in Philadelphia, Anthony Tidd brings a fearless fusion of hip-hop, funk, and progressive jazz, using groove as a catalyst for social consciousness and creative disruption. Tidd has collaborated with artists from The Roots to Meshell Ndegeocello, Jill Scott, and Steve Coleman. His debut Quite Sane became a touchstone of progressive jazz, and his commissions span orchestras, Broadway, and film. With To Kill a Child of Troubled Times, Tidd delivers a long-awaited sequel to The Child of Troubled Times: Short Stories — twenty-three years in the making — reaffirming jazz as a living archive of resilience, resistance, and renewal.
