Hailed by the New York Times as a “Revelation,” and the Chicago Tribune as “The most promising discovery that [Wynton] Marsalis has made since Eric Reed,” Aaron Diehl’s distinctive interpretations of the music of Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, and other masters pays homage to the tradition while establishing his own original voice. Mr. Diehl has performed with the Wynton Marsalis Septet, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Benny Golson, Hank Jones, Wycliffe Gordon, Victor Goines, Wessell Anderson, Loren Schoenberg, and has been featured on Marian McPartland’s NPR radio show Piano Jazz. His international touring has included major European jazz festivals as well as performances in South America and Asia. In addition to the Mozart Jazz trio album, he has recently released Live at Caramoor, from his solo performance at the prestigious festival in the summer of 2008. His latest trio CD is entitled Live at the Players. A native of Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Diehl is a 2007 graduate of the Juilliard School where his teachers included Kenny Barron, Eric Reed, and Oxana Yablonskaya. His honors include Lincoln Center’s prestigious Martin E. Segal award in 2004, winner of the 2003 Jazz Arts Group Hank Marr Jazz Competition, and Outstanding Soloist at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2002 Essentially Ellington Competition. Immediately following graduation from high school he toured with the Wynton Marsalis Septet. Mr. Diehl currently resides in Manhattan where he serves as pianist for St. Joseph of the Holy Family Church in Harlem. Warren Wolf is a multi-instrumentalist from Baltimore, MD. From the young age of three years old, Warren has been trained on the Vibraphone/Marimba, Drums, and Piano. Under the guidance of his father Warren Wolf Sr., Warren developed a deep background in all genres of music including classical music, ragtime and jazz. Warren attended the Peabody Preparatory for eight years (studying with former Baltimore Symphony Orchestra member Leo LePage) and the Baltimore School for the Arts, (studying with current Baltimore Symphony Orchestra member John Locke). After graduating from Baltimore School for the Arts, Warren studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where his mentors included vibraphonists Dave Samuels and Ed Saindon.  While at Berklee, Warren co-lead a quintet with Boston-based trumpeter Jason Palmer at the historic jazz club Wally’s Café where he was the house drummer for two years, performing every Friday and Saturday.  After graduating from Berklee in May of 2001, Warren became an active musician on the Boston local scene and became an instructor in the percussion department at Berklee College of Music for 2 years. Warren then headed back to Baltimore to start his main goal of becoming a full time performing musician. His resume includes gigs with such eminent veterans as Christian McBride, Bobby Watson, Mulgrew Miller and Tim Warfield, and recent encounters with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the George Coleman-Joey DeFrancesco Quartet.  He also leads a strong working unit with Tim Green, pianist Lawrence Fields, bassist Kris Funn and drummer John Lamkin. Warren has performed and toured throughout the United States and in 4 continents. In addition to two self-released recordings and two dates for the Japanese market on which he tears through producer-selected repertoire with panache and an informed point of view, Warren was recently signed to Mack Ave Records, which released his debut album entitled Warren Wolf.  Mack Avenue says the recording will make it as apparent to jazz fans as it already is to jazz insiders that the 31-year-old vibraphonist is the next major voice on his instrument. Joined by a unit of authoritative swingers (bassist Christian McBride, pianist Peter Martin, drummer Greg Hutchinson, alto and soprano saxophonist Tim Green, and, on two tracks, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt), Wolf offers a ten-piece program that admirably represents his singular blend of efflorescent chops, muscular attack, lyric sensibility, harmonic acumen, encyclopedic knowledge of hardcore jazz vocabulary, tireless groove and downright musicality. Of his involvement in the last year with the “Music of the Modern Jazz Quartet” project led by pianist Aaron Diehl, the 2011 American Pianists Association Cole Porter Fellowship winner, Warren feels that an opportunity to interpret the MJQ’s music is eminently apropos.  He considers Milt Jackson a primary influence. “When I heard him, I realized that’s how I want the vibes to sound,” Wolf recalls. “But I always wanted to style myself to play like a horn player. Charlie Parker’s recordings with Miles were my biggest influence. Later he says, his influences turned to the great pianists on the scene, like Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea.
