Jazz aficionados welcome the dawning of the next generations of talented musicians who boldly stride into progressive territory. Among the most important young jazz stars in that vein is vibraphonist Warren Wolf who delivers his remarkable sophomore album, Wolfgang, on Mack Avenue Records.

1st Look - Trumpeter Christian Scott's New Project "Christian aTunde Adjuah"! (Video)

OOOoOo - this is exciting news! I became friends with Christian about 3 years ago and have been schooled on a lot of jazz and New Orleans history by him. He is delightful to hang around with, always curious and never settles for the status quo.

The new project entitled Christian a Tunde Adjuah is going to be a two disc set. It's going to be such a treat for everyone that has embraced Christian Scott and his vision.

The EPK (Electronic Press Kit) below was released earlier today by Concord Jazz on their YouTube Channel.

Enjoy!
