BreAnna Bell A new sound rocked the Ace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday night as musical trio Chris Moten, Devon “Stixx” Taylor, and Cassius Jay unveiled Andscape’s “Trap Jazz” documentary to the auditorium with a visionary performance including a surprise visit from Chrisette Michele.

Directed by Sade Clacken Joseph, the Hulu documentary follows the three musicians on their five-year journey to develop and produce their own sound — a cultural meld that blends two major elements of their backgrounds as Atlanta natives: Trap and Jazz music. “I feel like what we’re doing, we’re able to bridge all the generations, from the young people, to the older, to the middle — it doesn’t matter.

It’s something that everybody can get with,” said Taylor. Viewers lined up down the street as they waited for the theater doors to open at 7.

At which point, they were greeted by a red carpet and popcorn snacks before they went inside the theater. For the VIPs, guests in the upstairs balcony were treated to an open bar and upstairs seats for the show.
