Sean Jones, Trumpet at Virginia Arts Festival at Attucks Theatre

About

Music and spirituality have always been fully intertwined in the artistic vision of trumpeter, composer, educator and activist Sean Jones. Singing and performing as a child with the church choir in his hometown of Warren, Ohio, Sean switched from the drums to the trumpet upon his first exposure to Miles Davis at the age of 10. Twenty-five years later, he still cites Mile's overall artistic vision and purity of sound as his greatest personal influence. See him live on March 18.
