Tickets: https://www.instantseats.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=buy.event&eventID=7A21BFD9-B365-5EDE-13E4518DB09689FC “some of the most unusual music I've ever heard…very hard to describe -- a super-group jam with the late Frank Zappa coming back from the great beyond to sit in with Punch Brothers and Jens Kruger, maybe?” - David Menconi Joe Troop is a GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter hailing from the North Carolina Piedmont. He is one half of the acclaimed panamerican folk duo Larry & Joe, and founder of Latingrass stringband Che Apalache. His music is deeply inspired by a decade living in Buenos Aires and traveling throughout Latin America and the world. His new concept album is called “Whirlwind.” Drawing from a kaleidoscope of influences - Latin jazz to R&B, candombe to bluegrass, classical music to samba, rock and roll - this group will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.

Throughout his career he’s performed and recorded with top jazz artists such as Branford Marsalis, Delfeayo Marsalis & the Uptown Jazz Orchestra @ the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival, Joey Calderazzo, Nasheet Waits, Nnenna and Pierce Freelon's GRAMMY nominated Ancestars, Lenora Zenzalai Helm @ Carnegie Hall NYC, Igmar Thomas’ Revive Big Band, and many more. Moses' highly acclaimed self-released debut album, New Perspective (2024), highlights his maturity as he sonically represents a human experience while staying true to the jazz tradition. In addition to his performance career, Moses serves as a saxophone professor at his alma mater, North Carolina Central University, and Duke University." "Tennishu is a Richmond-based saxophonist whose expressive tone and genre-fluid approach bridge jazz tradition with modern soul and rhythmic innovation. Since joining Butcher Brown in 2017, he has brought a distinctive voice to stages nationally and internationally, shaping the band’s forward-thinking sound with melodic clarity and improvisational depth. His solo work, including More To The Story and More Of The Story, highlights his ability to make the saxophone both narrator and centerpiece — blending intimacy, power, and storytelling into every performance." #jazzmusic #jazzconcert #livejazz #durhamjazzworkshop #durhamnc #durhamevents #jazzcommunity #chapelhillnc #carync #raleighnc #apexnc #trianglenc #jazzclub @djmoses_sax @tenn1sh2 @butler.knowles @kofi_shepsu
