Trumpeter
Sean Jones dropped by the SFJAZZ Center to talk jazz education. A masterful improviser with a feeling for the post-bop 1960s music of
Miles Davis and
Freddie Hubbard, Jones leads a crackling quartet featuring pianist
Orrin Evans, bassist
Luques Curtis, and drummer
Obed Calvaire, a member of the stellar
SFJAZZ Collective. The Sean Jones Quartet shares a double bill with fellow trumpet ace
Christian Scott during
The Festival of the Trumpet on Aug 21, 2014, part of
SFJAZZ Summer Sessions.
Special thanks to
