Jazz Standard is proud to host the Seventh Annual Festival of New Trumpet Music series, “In Honor of Bobby Bradford” from October 1 through October 4, 2009.
The FONT series exposes a broad array of today’s creative trumpeters, including Bobby Bradford, who celebrates his 75th birthday this year, as well as Eddie Henderson, Baikida Carroll, Jeremy Pelt, Ambrose Akinmusire, Avishai Cohen, and David Weiss.
The Festival of New Trumpet Music, a nonprofit that encourages creative brass music, will present its second Award of Recognition to Bradford during the week’s run. As part of this celebration, Bobby Bradford will convene a Quintet and Octet of long-time associates including David Murray, Marty Ehrlich, Mark Dresser, and Andrew Cyrille.
Each series presented by FONT commissions new work from brilliant emerging trumpeter/composers. This season, award-winning trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire will compose a work honoring Bradford for his Quartet plus special guest trumpeter Avishai Cohen.
In addition, FONT board member Jeremy Pelt has convened an all-star group in honor of Bradford. The legendary trumpeter Eddie Henderson will join in a performance of original work and pieces by Bradford that will also include James Zollar on trumpet, and the rhythm section of Marc Cary, Vicente Archer, and Gerald Cleaver.
Jazz Standard is located in NYC at E. 27th Street (b/w Park and Lex)
