Jazz Trumpeter & Composer
Sets at 7:00pm & 9:00pm
Summer is excited to play with the The Future of Jazz Orchestra as they join forces with former Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra saxophonist Ted Nash for a vibrant celebration of Miles Davis’s centennial. Featuring some of the most exciting young players on today’s scene, this Dizzy’s resident band brings fresh life, bold arrangements, and plenty of swing to the music of one of jazz’s most influential artists.
Summer joins the Jazz Houston Nonet and Thelonius Monk Competition Winner, Marquis Hill, for an evening that traces Miles’ journey—from classic standards to bold electric sounds!
Summer is honored to be a guest artist for this year’s APEX Trumpet Symposium! APEX is North America’s premiere in-person summer trumpet symposium. From the majestic heights of Tennessee’s Smokey Mountains, a stone's throw from Knoxville, participants hone their creative voices in a stunning mountaintop lodge. Participants enjoy private lessons, topic lectures, non-traditional interactive masterclasses from world-class artists, time for individual practice, and trumpet ensembles all taking place in a positive, supportive, and collegial environment.
