Theo Croker Quartet

“There are good, great and nice musical players, but then there are phenomenal instrumentalists such as Theo. I would place Theo in a class of musicians who will redirect the flow, change and alter the current of today’s New Jazz.” – Donald Byrd

Trumpeter Theo Croker has spent his professional career traveling around the world (all the way to Shanghai, China) learning about the different elements and colors in Jazz. He’s a student of Donald Byrd, who has celebrated his unique ability and understanding of music. He’s worked closely with vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, who produced and played on his record, as well as Roy Hargrove, Stefon Harris, and Dave Gilmore. His blend of musical genres such as Jazz, Funk, R&B among other genres has greatly contributed to the effort of musicians to expand their craft. See this amazing performance at the Jazz Forum on Friday, Nov. 10th and Saturday, Nov. 11th at 7 & 9 pm both nights.
