Born in Miami to a musical family, trumpeter Terell Stafford spent his formative years as a sideman in alto player Bobby Watson’s Horizon quartet. Since leaving Watson, Stafford has spent time with McCoy Tyner, Wynton Marsalis, Jon Faddis, and with Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” house band.
Terell is an exciting performer and his playing shows a lyrical commitment to melody with an adventurous spirit. His rich, expressive tone can be heard on two recent recordings from MaxJazz Records, including “Taking Chances: Live at the Dakota.” Stafford’s quartet features the young pianist Gerald Clayton, the son of bassist John Clayton. The critics comment that Clayton has “a lyrical and ethereal approach,” and he’s a pianist that is “always intriguing,” adding that his playing is “extremely sensitive and consistently satisfying.”
The Jazz in North Park Series wraps up for the summer with Denise Donatelli and the Geoffrey Keezer Quartet on July 7 -- one of a handful of real jazz vocalists featuring one of the best pianists/arrangers in the business! Joining the quartet for this performance is San Diego's favorite jazz guitarist, Peter Sprague.
