A gifted and versatile trumpeter, Terell Stafford and his quintet combine lyricism and a deep love of melody with an adventurous edge. Stafford and his quintet demonstrate and discuss the blues as well as Louis Armstrong's musical influence with the classic hit "West End Blues," which set the standard for jazz for many years. In addition, the quintet will talk about improvisation and ensemble playing and, through performance, guide students in what to listen for in jazz (recorded in 2008 at C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA).
