Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” has long been a favorite of New Orleans-based trumpeter Steve Lands – so much so that it inspired his Afrofuturist interpretation, "Rearranging the Planets," which officially released this past May.

Over the 14-track album, Lands blends and bends a range of Black American-rooted genres with Afrobeat, electronica, spoken word and avant-garde aspects. 🪐💫

New Orleans trumpeter and composer Steve Lands reinterprets Gustav Holst's "The Planets" on his album "Rearranging the Planets," an Afrofuturist tour of the cosmos.
