Sunday, February 5, at 3 PM
Trumpeter
JAMES SUGGS has had a huge impact on the jazz scene in recent years, becoming a
favorite of colleagues and audiences, and of his students on both sides of
Tampa Bay. On the next Tampa Jazz Club concert, James will trace his musical
life through the songs that most captivated him and shaped his musical life.
‘My Favorite Things’ will be presented on Sunday, February 5 at 3:00 in the
Mainstage Theatre at HCC/Ybor City, part of HCC’s Visual & Performing Arts
Series.
James began
playing trumpet at 9, and became acquainted with jazz at 10 – when he met
Wynton Marsalis! Diving deep into his father’s record collection, he soaked up
popular songs, jazz standards, and more, leading to a wide-ranging performing
career. Four years ago, he released You’re Gonna Hear From Me, produced by
Houston Person for Arbors Records at the Van Gelder Studio, the jazz world’s
most revered recording studio.
The James
Suggs Quartet will include Julian Pernett, an impressive pianist in the
Master’s program at USF and a member of the USF Jazztet (which James directs),
recent USF grad Noel Reyes on bass, and veteran Bay Area drummer Jean Bolduc.
We’re eager to hear the selected songs, sure to reflect James’ broad experience
and his engaging personality – and his brilliance on the horn. Please join us
on Sunday, February 5 for an exciting afternoon with the James Suggs Quartet!
