Percussionist Ches Smith and members of We All Break stood before the audience, conjuring that sweet spot where Haitian Vodou drumming and jazz come together. Looking out onto the space, the group began with a melodic a cappella, combining vocal chants from Daniel Brevil with the trio of vocalists at the center.
