Grammy-nominated woodwind quintet Imani Winds takes a different approach to the classical music world by including dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming, adventurous collaborations, and inspirational outreach programs. Their fantastic repertoire seeks to meaningfully bridge American, European, African and Latin American traditions. From Mendelssohn to Astor Piazzolla to Wayne Shorter and Stravinsky, Imani Winds successfully blends the traditional and modern genres into one intriguing and refreshing take on classical music.

Imani Winds has five releases on E1 Music, including their 2006 Grammy Award nominated recording entitled The Classical Underground. They have also recorded for Naxos and Blue Note and released "The Rite of Spring" on Warner Classics which was on iTunes Best of 2013 list.
