| Theo Croker Quintet at the Rubin Museum of Art Between the JVC Jazz Festival in June and the third season of Harlem In The Himalayas in September, the Rubin Museum of Art is presenting a showcase performance under the heading Jazz With Altitude. On August 10, Doc Cheatham's grandson Theo Croker (trumpet) and his Quintet (Stantawn Kendrick (tenor sax), Sullivan Fortner (piano), Chris Mees (bass), Kassa Overall (drums) will make their debut. As is customary at RMA, Croker will create new compositions in response to the themes of the Himalayan art at the Museum. At 21 years old, Theo Croker has already distinguished himself as a vital force in the jazz community. As the grandson of jazz trumpet legend Doc Cheatham, the legacy Croker carries is profoundly felt when he plays. His musicianship possesses a depth that is usually achieved only through a lifetime's worth of experience. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
