The Greenville Jazz Collective Jazz Underground series presents trumpeter and vocalist extraordinaire Justin Ray with a quartet performing “A Jazz Underground Sampler”, featuring in one concert the breadth of jazz you might hear in an entire season…standards, premieres of original music, beautiful ballads, and high-energy romps. Plus a few surprises!

Justin Ray builds on the legacy of Chet Baker (not to speak of Louis Armstrong) known for both their jazz instrumentals and vocals. On top of that, Justin is an educator, composer, and arranger. In addition to touring with Michael Buble’s band on trumpet, he also worked for him writing and arranging.

So he’s bringing 20 years of high-profile performance experience to our great listening room in the Coffee Underground March 10 at 7p
