Trumpet master, composer and inventive arranger David Weiss brings his outstanding New York sextet to the West coast to promote his newly released recording, Auteur. The recording spotlights original music, never-before-recorded compositions from Freddie Hubbard and Slide Hampton.  Praised by The New York Times and the Village Voice for his bold inventions over the years, Weiss’ music evokes emotional complexity — abundance and loss, the collateral beauty of pain — and transmits a deeply personal sound informed by his strong connection to hard bop, swing, and free improvisation traditions.

David Weiss Sextet

The 222

Is it all just a pose? Not at all. Lakecia Benjamin may have a lot of visual plus points, but she also knows how to impress musically. The saxophonist has experienced a furious career leap with her current album »Phoenix«, which has even resulted in a Grammy nomination.
