The Byron Stripling Quartet
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27 • 7:30pmDrake University Sheslow Auditorium • Jordan Stage
Trumpet virtuoso, Byron Stripling, leads his quartet in a hot jam session of timeless jazz classics and fresh originals. His quartet, composed of some of the finest jazz musicians in the country, breathes new life into bebop, blues, and even a little gospel!
"Mr. Stripling is a powerful trumpeter, at east with the most complicated and detailed bebop lines and an open-armed Armstrong swagger."
