Trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire is the real deal. After winning first place in the 2007 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition, he has cemented his reputation as one of the most promising jazz artists of his generation. As an improviser, he takes big risks that always seem to pay off brilliantly, and his expressive trumpet sound has an almost vocal quality that draws the listener in. His unique style reflects his diverse influences, including classical music, pop, and the avant-garde. An alumnus of Berkeley High School, he has a master's degree from USC and studied at the Manhattan School of Music and the Monk Institute. Ambrose has performed with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Vijay Iyer, Yosvany Terry, and Stefon Harris, to name but a few, and he is featured on keyboardist Alan Pasqua's acclaimed 2007 album The Antisocial Club.

Elisha Abas played a truly spectacular show and Yoed Nir was a terrific opener. Chopin Vodka provided amazing cocktails to all the guests. We look forward to seeing everyone at future events.
