Dexter Wansel

A driving force behind Philadelphia International Records, Dexter Wansel fused jazz, funk, and soul into a forward-looking sound that has influenced generations of artists. From the space‑aged textures of Life on Mars to the rhythmic brilliance of ‘Theme from the Planets’ and the shimmering sophistication of ‘The Sweetest Pain,’ his music remains timeless. Across two nights, Wansel brings these landmark recordings and more to our stage, offering a rare chance to hear one of music’s true visionaries in full orbit.
