Familiar to Bay Area Jazz audiences from his performances as leader or sideman at San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, Monterey Jazz Festival, the Red Poppy Art House and other prestigious venues too numerous to list, Erik Jekabson is a trumpet player, composer and educator of true artistry and talent. He has toured with Illinois Jacquet, John Mayer, Galactic, and the Howard Fishman Quartet, and played while on the road at such notable venues as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Algonquin Room, Madison Square Garden and on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with David Letterman.
Grammy-nominated Art Lande is an internationally known pianist, composer, improviser, drummer and educator who has performed with a long list of the Who's Who in jazz, including Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Bobby Hutcherson, Steve Swallow, Charlie Haden, Kenny Wheeler, Sheila Jordan, Mark Isham, Paul McCandless, Jan Garbarek and many others.
Together, Erik and Art worked together in the spring of 2012, and their latest idea is a big band project featuring Ellington's music. With Erik's fresh voice, dare I say new arrangements? With Art at the piano, new is the norm.
