Etienne Charles
January 12, 2011

Tonight promises to be a fun, soulful night of music in an elegant setting. Trumpeter/composer/bandleader Etienne Charles has become a favorite of those attending live National Jazz Museum in Harlem performances. Why? Here’s what pianist Marcus Roberts has to say about him:

“Etienne Charles exhibits both an authentic preservation of the music of his native culture of Trinidad as a composer and bandleader, while broadening our scope of understanding through the collaborative sound of American jazz as it meets new colors, new textures, and new motifs across the world. It will certainly bring more of our public into the jazz audience.”

His bandmates are two of the most acclaimed young talents on the international scene today - come and experience for yourself, and bring a friend!
