A D.C.-Rooted, Genre-Bending Masterpiece From Multi-Instrumentalist BJ Simmons Featuring 15 Powerful Collaborators

The release follows Simmons' spotlight performance at last year's DC Jazz Festival. His reputation as a genre-bridging artist continues to grow as Trapped In delivers a cinematic soundscape marked by moody production, acrobatic sax solos, and raw lyricism.
