WARREN WOLF QUINTET
Warren Wolf is a multi-instrumentalist. From the age of three years old, Warren has been trained on the Vibraphone/Marimba, Drums, and Piano. He has made ten recordings, most notably for Mack Ave Records and is a member of the SFJAZZ Collective and Christian McBride and “Inside Straight.” Warren has become a sought-after collaborator, currently serving as the drummer of choice for saxophonist Tia Fuller, a longtime member of Beyoncé’s touring band and a key member of the Donal Fox Group, performing alongside bassist John Lockwood and drummers Dafnis Prieto and Terri Lyne Carrington..
Wolf has recently enjoyed several weeks of being #1 on the JazzWeek charts and has been called "the wizard of the vibes." He is an international touring musician, and has performed throughout the United States of America, South America, Canada, Italy, Spain, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Scotland, London, Greece, Singapore, Thailand, Jarkata, Bangkok, Tokyo, Paris, Moscow and many other countries.
Joining Wolf is a lineup of masterful musicians: Tim Green on alto saxophone, whose sound blends hard bop, gospel, and modern jazz; the provocative young bassist and composer, Blake Meister; Alex Brown on piano/keyboard bringing vibrant innovation to every note; and Grammy-nominated McClenty Hunter on drums. Together, the Quintet creates a synergy that transforms Wolf’s compositions into thrilling, dynamic experiences.
“The paucity of jazz vibraphonists may be due in part to the complexity of mastering an instrument that’s like a hybrid of drums, percussion and piano. Notwithstanding, one of the instrument’s brightest stars is Baltimore native Warren Wolf.” - All About Jazz

TONY DeSARE TRIO
Sinatra & Beyond
Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. Named “Rising Star Male Vocalist” in Downbeat magazine, DeSare has lived up to this distinction by winning critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout North America and abroad. He is an accomplished award-winning composer and his sound is romantic, swinging, and sensual. What sets DeSare apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and contemporary, yet pays homage to the Great American Songbook. Tony is a GCJS favorite!
