• Celebrating Dizzy Gillespie
The Jon Faddis Jazz Orchestra of New York & Quintet
March 8-9, 2013, 8pm, Rose Theater
The Jon Faddis Jazz Orchestra of New York brings the music of Faddis’ mentor, Dizzy Gillespie, into focus in two separate settings. No living trumpet player can claim a closer relationship to Gillespie than Faddis, who at 15 years old met Gillespie. Faddis will direct his current big band through new transcriptions from Gillespie’s 40s big band and 50s repertoire and he will also lead a quintet through selected compositions from Gillespie’s small group recordings. The Jon Faddis Jazz Orchestra of New York performers include: Jon Faddis (trumpet, conductor and leader), Lew Soloff, Greg Gisbert, Michael Philip Mossman, Max Darche (trumpets), Mark Vinci, Steve Wilson, Walt Weiskopf, Ralph Lalama, Frank Basile (saxophones), Ted Rosenthal (piano), Todd Coolman (bass), with special guests Ignacio Berroa (drums), NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath (tenor saxophone), Pedrito Martinez (congas) and Steve Turre (trombone and conch shells – Friday only). The Quintet includes: Jon Faddis (trumpet, leader), Jimmy Heath (tenor saxophone), Ted Rosenthal (piano), Todd Coolman (bass), Ignacio Berroa (drums)....
