Ethan Chilton +4

A night of rarely-played standards and free improvisation with trumpeter and composer Ethan Chilton, accompanied by some young lions of LA. When Chilton isn’t writing and recording his own music, he can frequently be found as a sideman in the LA bands of John Beasley, Remy LeBoeuf, Clare Fischer, and more. He’s performed with Terri Lyne Carrington, SAJE, Patrice Rushen, Geoff Keezer, Louis Cole/Genevieve Artadi, and Bob Mintzer, among others. You can hear his newest record of original compositions, “The Planets” on all streaming platforms now. Chilton has lived in Los Angeles for the past five years, where he is a student at the University of Southern California.

"A Chilton song never sits still, nor is content with simple riffs or repeating figures; the harmony is always going forward. Classical stylings are thrown together with contemporary influences and Chilton somehow makes it all cohere."
