LIVESTREAM: Jon Faddis Quartet Cover

Jon Faddis – trumpet David Hazeltine – piano Todd Coolman – bass Dion Parson – drums “A complete musician with an awesome range, a beautiful tone, and an intelligence that makes every solo a model of clarity and emotion.” – DownBeat Magazine Trumpeter Jon Faddis leads an exciting, hard-swinging quartet with pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Todd Coolman, and drummer Dion Parson. Long celebrated for his incredible musicality and technical prowess, Faddis is in the pantheon of the greatest trumpeters in jazz history. Mentored by Dizzy Gillespie early in his career, Faddis absorbed the styles of many of the great trumpeters, forging his own distinctive style and having a similar enduring influence. “Faddis is a trumpet player of prodigious lyrical force,” reports the Chicago Tribune. At the same time, The Guardian adds, “His sheer power and command are astonishing—Faddis takes trumpet playing to an entirely new level.”
