A spectacular trumpeter with a very wide range, a beautiful tone, and the ability to blend together many influences into his own style, Byron Stripling is the Artistic Director of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, leader of his own quartet, and constantly in demand to play with
pops orchestras around the world. The happiness that exudes through his trumpet and his vocals is reminiscent of Louis Armstrong yet very much his own. It is not surprising that Byron
was selected to play the lead in the touring musical “Satchmo: America’s Musical Legend.“ Joining Byron will be jazz organist Bobby Floyd, who happens to be a featured player with the
Columbus Jazz Orchestra, having shared the stage with Dionne Warwick, Doc Severinson, and many others. Also featured in the quartet will be acclaimed guitarist Bruce Forman, who
performed on Clint Eastwood’s Oscar-winning film- Million Dollar Baby and the highly respected drummer- Jeff Hamilton who is regarded by his peers as a musical drummer and supportive
accompanist. Jeff is no stranger to Sunset Jazz as he has presented both his piano and organ trios and performed a number of tribute evenings to the great Ray Brown. And for those fans
who happen to own Byron’s newest CD- “Have Trumpet, Will Swing”, you will be treated to a number of his swingin’ tune selections such as “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To”, “Love For Sale”, “Sometimes I’m Happy” and “Honeysuckle Rose.” And for those who have never
seen the Byron Stripling-Bobby Floyd Quartet- this is the time to catch them up close and personal!
