POSTPONED* Curtis Taylor Quartet feat. Special Guest, Randy Napoleon

4:30 show, 4PM doors. VIDEO. Award-winning trumpeter Curtis Taylor’s lyrical and melodic improvisational style  displays a level of maturity far beyond his counterparts. His unique  blend of soulfulness, harmonic sensibilities and rhythm melt together  for an unforgettable sound that directly connects with the soul of the  listener. According to Taylor, “ When played honestly, music is the  ultimate conveyer of truth and beauty.” Taylor  has performed and recorded with Patrice Rushen, Billy Childs, Gary  Novak, Bob Sheppard, Ed Motta, Marvin "Smitty' Smith, Rodney Whitaker,  Antonio Hart and great gospel luminaries Karen Clark-Sheard, Kierra  Sheard and the Singletons. More extensively Taylor’s stint with jazz  pianist Cyrus Chestnut included a notable concert performance at Kennedy  Center recorded for NPR’s Jazzset, an appearance at the Spoleto Jazz  Festival, and a week long engagement at Dizzy’s Club in NYC.
