Warren Wolf is a multi-instrumentalist from Baltimore. Since age three, he has been trained on the vibraphone/marimba, drums and piano. Under the guidance of his father Warren Wolf Sr., Warren has a deep background in all genres of music.
Warren attended Peabody Preparatory for eight years studying classical music with former BSO member Leo LePage. During his high school years at the Baltimore School for the Arts, he studied with current BSO member John Locke. At Berklee College of Music, he studied with Carribean Jazz Vibraphonists Dave Samuels and Ed Saindon.
After two years teaching at Berklee, Warren headed back to Baltimore where he landed the piano duties performing and touring with the Rachael Price Group. Warren is the drummer of choice for Alto Saxophonist Tia Fuller, who tours with internationally renowned pop star Beyonce Knowles. He is also a member of the Donal Fox Group which includes bassist John Lockwood and drummers Dafnis Preito and Terri Lyne Carrington. Also, Warren tour and perform with Bobby Watson’s “Live and Learn” Sextet, Karriem Riggins “Virtuoso Experience” and Christian McBride & “Inside Straight.” Warren has several recordings as a leader.
Music and spirituality have always been fully intertwined in the artistic vision of trumpeter, composer, educator and activist Sean Jones. Singing and performing as a child with the church choir in his hometown of Warren, Ohio, Sean switched from the drums to the trumpet upon his first exposure to Miles Davis at the age of 10. Twenty-five years later, he still cites Miles’ overall artistic vision and purity of sound as his greatest personal influence.
But it was another immortal visionary who had a most profound impact when Sean was a 19-year old student at Youngstown State University – the magnificent John Coltrane through his masterpiece, A Love Supreme – “All at once, everything just came together for me. My past, my present, my future. I knew the course I needed to pursue.” Already exhibiting a superb control of the instrument through his private studies with master trumpeter and educator Esotto Pellegrini and his intensive listening to his other primary influences, Woody Shaw Freddie Hubbard and Clifford Brown, the young trumpeter committed himself to artistic excellence the pursuit of transcendence.
Five years later, after receiving his Master’s Degree from Rutgers University, Sean had a 6-month stint with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. This marked the beginning of a relationship with Wynton Marsalis, who offerd a permanent position as lead trumpeter where he remained until 2010.
Sean's focus now is on his own ensembles and long relationship with Mack Avenue Records, for whom he has just released his seventh recording: im.pro.vise = never before seen. Heavily involved in education, Sean has recently joined the Berklee College of Music’s distinguished faculty as the Chair of the Brass Department.
