Legendary trombonist Dick Griffin will perform Sun Ra Ascending, an electrifying tribute to the cosmic jazz icon.
Dick Griffin is one of today's leading trombone players. In a career spanning over 40 years, he has performed with some of the biggest names in Jazz and Soul, as well as appearing with several symphony orchestras. A short list of the luminaries Mr. Griffin has worked with includes: Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Tito Puente, Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Cecil Taylor, David Murray, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Isaac Hayes, Dionne Warwick, and Lionel Hampton.
He currently resides in New York City where he continues to explore his musical and artistic boundaries creating art of the highest ground.
