Event details
The Pitt State Jazz Ensemble will perform its final concert of the season on April 24 at the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts, 1711 S. Homer, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The concert is free and will feature one of the most sought-after trombonists in the nation, Andy Martin of Los Angeles. He’s been featured as leader or co-leader on 12 albums with other top jazz artists, and is well known as a lead player and soloist for virtually every big band in L.A., including the Tom Kubis Band and bands led by Quincy Jones, Matt Cattingub, and Sammy Nestico.
Martin has been a prominent trombonist for commercial recordings and live theater. He’s appeared regularly on TV soundtracks for Family Guy, American Dad, and King of the Hill, and soundtracks for more than 150 major films.
Also planned on April 24:
2 p.m. Attend a Brass Master Class in the Bicknell Center — free to trombonists from throughout the area.
1 to 2 p.m. Sit in on a sound check with Martin and the Jazz Ensemble in the Bicknell Center — free and open to all.
