The Anthony Coleman II Quintet

Step into a night of music where tradition meets innovation with The Anthony Coleman II Quintet.
This electrifying concert celebrates trumpet legends Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, and Roy Hargrove through timeless songs they made famous, while also featuring Anthony’s own original compositions that honor their legacies and embrace the rhythms of today, including modern influences like hip hop. Expect soulful grooves, fiery improvisation, and a guided journey through the trumpet’s voice in jazz — past, present, and future.

Anthony Coleman II keeps his feet on the ground and his horn in the sky. His respect for jazz tradition earned him a spot in the inaugural class of the Brubeck Institute of Jazz, studying under greats like Christian McBride, while his versatility as a modern artist has led him to share stages and studios with stars including Ludacris, Joss Stone, and Raphael Saadiq. A graduate of the New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music, Coleman now leads multiple ensembles and is a sought-after educator in both New York and the Bay Area. With both academic rigor and real-world fire, Coleman stands as one of the new vanguards of jazz, fiercely pushing the music forward without losing sight of its roots. Don’t miss this rare chance to experience his quintet live!
