Sean Jones Quartet/Warren Wolf & Wolfpack

Sean Jones Quartet/Warren Wolf & Wolfpack

SMF audiences will remember trumpeter, bandleader, educator and composer Sean Jones from when he performed at SMF 2012 with Jon Faddis or SMF 2010 with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), but his current quartet is his finest project to date. Jones was originally a drummer but discovered the trumpet at the age of 10 upon hearing Miles Davis. He went on to hold the lead trumpet chair in the JLCO for six years, and toured with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock on the “Tribute To Miles” tour, among many other musical accomplishments. He is presently the Brass Department Chair at Berklee College of Music. Jones will be joined by Orrin Evans on piano, Luques Curtis on bass and Obed Calvaire on drums.

Warren Wolf first performed at SMF 2003 with Lewis Nash and has since made appearances here as a leader and as a sideman with Aaron Diehl and Walter Blanding. Endless possibilities open up when Wolf stands over the vibraphone, and his “Wolfpack” quartet plays with soul and fire. He has performed and/or recorded with a wide variety of jazz musicians, including the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Nicholas Payton, Aaron Goldberg, Cyrus Chestnut, Willie Jones, Eric Reed, Mulgrew Miller, Ron Carter, Esperanza Spalding and many others. Wolf will be joined by Alex Brown on piano, Kris Funn on bass and Billy Williams, Jr. on drums.
