Jazz legend Jon Faddis is gracing a venue near you, probably to prove he can still hit the high notes Dizzy Gillespie taught him back in the day. 🎺 From his start at 17 with Lionel Hampton to leading the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and collaborating with Charles Mingus, this trumpeter, conductor, composer, and educator is basically the musical equivalent of a flexing meme.
Register for this free event ASAP because seating is scarcer than a sober jazz fan. Show up 45 minutes early on the dot—admission is first-come, first-served, so ticket holders get priority (unless the venue is packed tighter than a sardine can). 🎭📍
