JON FADDIS QUARTET | SMOKE JAZZ CLUB | WED - SUN, JULY 23 - 27 | Jon Faddis – trumpet David Hazeltine – piano Kiyoshi Kitagawa – bass Deon 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 Kiyoshi Kitagawa, 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 Chicago Tribune, while The Guardian adds, “His sheer power and command are astonishing—Faddis takes trumpet playing to an entirely new level.” TICKETS
