SUMMARY:Saturday\, June 21st: The Trent Patten Trio
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM AND 9:30PM. Born and raised in Minnesota\, multi-instrumentalist Trent Patten was introduced to music at a young age. Both his parents being musicians\, it was natural for him to have an interest in music. Trent started playing the trumpet when he was 10\, but didn’t have an interest in jazz until he was 17 when he attended the Hilton Head Jazz Camp. It was here that he met some of his mentors and friends that really inspired him to make others feel inspired through music\, as they did to him. Around this time\, Trent moved to the Southeast area where he started becoming very active in the local music scene\, going out to see music and meet musicians and playing gigs wherever he could. \n\n\n\nDuring this time he played with countless jazz musicians such as Kevin Bales and Joe Gransden. He has also opened for very well known jazz musicians\, such as Arturo Sandoval\, Monty Alexander\, the Count Basie Orchestra and Quentin Baxter. After a couple years of living here\, he decided to study trumpet at Coastal Carolina University with Dr. Matthew White. After spending a year there\, he had an opportunity to study in Atlanta at Georgia State University with Dr. Gordon Vernick. Trent now lives in Atlanta and has been playing all around the city reaching people with his music wherever he can.

DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM AND 9:30PM. Singer/Songwriter Tony Hightower is taking up the mantle to be a bridge that ushers R&B audiences into Jazz…Real Jazz.

Band and Brick. “My first jazz musical loves were Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra\, This show explores the depth of that music\, and much more\, with some of my favorite band mates!”
