Sean Jones, April 15

Trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and musical chameleon Sean Jones once turned a 6-month stint with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra into an offer from Wynton Marsalis for a permanent position as lead trumpeter. Years later and now an internationally recognized educator, Jones currently chairs Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Conservatory and is Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall’s NYO Jazz Ensemble. On the Schaeffer stage, Jones will show he is equally adept as both a band leader and ensemble member. Celebrating Kutztown University’s strong jazz program, part of the performance will include a collaboration between Jones’ ensemble and KU’s Downbeat award-winning Jazz Ensemble One.

Characteristically thoughtful and reflective, Sean Jones can also bebop with the best of them. UK Jazz News
