This month, we gather with a few of the influential jazz trumpet players in the region, to talk all things trumpet. Ashlin Parker, founder of the Trumpet Mafia, will give us insights into the role of trumpet, what the Trumpet Mafia has been up to, and key moments in his career. We look forward to sharing insights that get us ready to celebrate the reopening of the JAZZ ROOM with a Trumpet Summit, later in the week. Tune in to the monthly Conversation with Curtis series to discover outstanding musicians, past and present, regional and international. Our interactive events are a chance for you to engage with the artists who are usually up on the stage. These conversations are led by jazz expert, JAZZ ROOM MC, and CurtJazz radio host Curtis Davenport. Join us free on YouTube or Facebook at the downbeat of the show. Thank you to our sponsors, Knight Foundation, O’s Place Jazz, Infusion Fund, NC Arts Council, Dorris Duke Foundation and our many donors who keep jazz thriving.
