The Cincinnati Jazz Messengers are a 7-piece ensemble assembled by trumpeter Ralph DiSylvestro to celebrate the iconic and exciting music of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers from the 1950s through the 1980s. Art Blakey’s band featured some of the most influential composers and instrumentalists of the 20th century, such as Benny Golson, Cedar Walton, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, and Bobby Watson. The goal of the Cincinnati Jazz Messengers is to keep the music of these jazz titans alive and, in the spirit of the Jazz Messengers, contribute their compositions to the diverse and rich songbook.

Currently living in Nashville. Eric Wurzelbacher is originally a Cincinnati-based saxophonist, composer, and educator known for blending modern jazz improvisation with influences from rock and contemporary music. A graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, he has become an active performer and bandleader in the Midwest jazz scene.
As a leader, he has released several albums including Eco Quartet (2017), Power (2018), Maya (2019), Idle Minds (2021), Don’t Climb the Towers (2024), and YOUNGBLOODS TRIO (2025).
