Tatum Greenblatt

Referred to by The New York Times as, "A trumpeter of versatility and poise," Tatum Greenblatt has established himself as one of the most in-demand trumpet players on New York City's music scene. Named by Wynton Marsalis as one of his favorite up-and-coming trumpet players, Greenblatt has performed with Marsalis, as well as with Joe Lovano, The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, The Mingus Legacy Bands, Richard Bona, Maria Schneider, India.Arie, George Gruntz, Donny McCaslin, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Christian McBride, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Reggie Workman, George Garzone and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, among many others. Having earned his Master's Degree from The Juilliard School, Tatum spent two years touring worldwide with The Richard Bona Group and Mingus Bands, performing in nearly 40 countries on 6 continents, and can be heard frequently around New York City with The Mingus Big Band, Orrin Evans' Captain Black Big Band, The Fat Cat Big Band, and Pedro Giraudo Jazz Orchestra. Tatum has also appeared on dozens of recordings with a wide variety of artists, including The Captain Black Big Band, George Gruntz, The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Grizzly Bear's Shields, and the soundtrack to the upcoming motion picture The Longest Week. His latest album Imprints, his third as a leader, was released to critical acclaim in March, 2012, earning a "Critic's Pick" from DownBeat Magazine. Tatum also appeared in the 2011 film New Year's Eve, directed by Garry Marshall, as a member of "Jensen" (Jon Bon Jovi's) band.

GEOFF VIDAL- SAXOPHONE

Winner of the 2012 Detroit Jazz Festival Saxophone Competition and who the New York Times heralds as "a harmonically astute tenor saxophonist", Geoff Vidal is a native of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and studied at UMASS Amherst under Jeff Holmes, Lynn Klock and Adam Kolker from 1998-2003 where he won several Downbeat Student Music Awards as an outstanding collegiate soloist. In 2003, Vidal attended Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead program before moving to New Orleans, LA. In 2006 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Vidal moved to New York and quickly entrenched himself around some of the most talented and forward-thinking musicians in the city. A highly in-demand saxophonist & woodwind player, Vidal has made a name for himself thanks to his easy-going demeanor and extraordinary musical talents, which belie his years. Vidal currently freelances with such artists as Arturo O'Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, the Artie Shaw Orchestra and a slew of other prominent NYC big bands among the likes of Jason Marshall, Cecilia Coleman, Valery Ponomarev and Gregorio Uribe. In 2010, he released his debut album She Likes That (Arts & Music Factory) to critical acclaim. Currently residing in Brooklyn, Vidal performs and teaches all over the New York metro area and the northeast with the Geoff Vidal group (GV3 and GV5) in addition to being an integral member of several steady working bands.
