Mainstay favorite vibist Chuck Redd presents a concert featuring some of the most exciting young jazz talent in the music today. Ranging in age from high school seniors to young working professionals, this group’s talent belies their youth. Featuring Ephraim Dorsey on the tenor saxophone (Baltimore School for the Arts), Micah Thomas on piano (Juilliard), Jon Guo on bass (Peabody) and Chris Latona on drums (Oberlin).
Chuck has played with the greats so he knows talent AND he likes advancing the stars of tomorrow. Sixteen-year-old tenorist Ephraim Dorsey has been burning up the Baltimore/DC scene since getting his start at the tender age of 10. Columbus OH native Micah Thomas recently graduated from the prestigious jazz program at Juilliard Conservatory and in his short career has already appeared with some of the greatest luminaries in jazz including Wynton Marsalis and Joshua Redman. DC son Chris Latona mentored with tenor great Paul Carr before studying at Oberlin University with jazz elder Gary Bartz and has brought a fiery sensibility on the drums back to the Washington scene. Bassist Jon Guo recently graduated from the Peabody Conservatory and has become a mainstay of jazz groups throughout the region. Don’t miss this showcase of great up-and-coming jazz stars!
