Join us for a Lipsey Summer Jazz performance by George Caldwell, Bill Easley, Sylvester Sample, Tim Clark, and Sean Jefferson!
George Caldwell will perform with lifelong friends from Memphis: Legendary saxophonist Bill Easley and bassist Sylvester Sample, who has been described as the best bass player no one has ever heard of. They will be joined by trumpeter Tim Clarke and drummer Sean Jefferson.
George Caldwell has performed and conducted around the world with well-known singers and bands including the legendary Duke Ellington Orchestra. He has played at Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Blue Note, Montreux and Newport Jazz Festivals, and Tivoli Gardens, just to name a few.
He is featured as instrumentalist, arranger, and composer on works by Tito Puente, Craig Bailey, Lewis Nash, Joe Williams, Bill Easley, and Hank Crawford, among others.
