Will Washington is a trumpet/flugel horn player, vocalist and band leader who was born into the Stellar Award Gospel choir of the Brunson and Thompson Community Singers through his mom and his uncle with Earth, Wind and Fire. An extraordinary singer and horn player, he is unmatched.
Both Robin and Will have performed throughout North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Indonesia. Together they are electrifying and celebrate the incredible music of Ellington, born April 29, 1899, the greatest jazz composer and band leader of his time and beyond!
