Brian Lynch Quartet feat. John Beasley

Multiple Grammy© Award Winning trumpeter and composer Brian Lynch brings to his music an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience. A honored graduate of two of the jazz world’s most distinguished academies, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet, he received wide acclaim during his long tenures with Latin Jazz legend Eddie Palmieri and straight ahead master Phil Woods. He has been a valued collaborator with jazz artists such as Benny Golson, Chucho Valdes, and Charles McPherson; Latin music icons as diverse as Hector LaVoe and Lila Downs; and pop luminaries such as Prince. As a bandleader and recording artist he has released over 20 critically acclaimed CDs featuring his distinctive composing and arranging.

This is Brian’s first Los Angeles performance as a bandleader in many years, and will give Angelenos a chance to hear this top trumpeter (named Trumpeter Of The Year by the Jazz Journalists Association and a perpetual top 20 pick in the Downbeat Critics and Readers Polls) in the context of his own original music as chronicled on his two latest albums Songbook Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (Hollistic MusicWorks), both Downbeat picks as Best Albums of 2022.
