They co-founded and have operated the music education non-profit “ B Sharp Academy” in West Baltimore, which offers many children in need, an opportunity to learn music and play an instrument in an environment where public schools have continually scaled back their music programs. John brings his “Favorites” Quintet to Jazzway 6004 in a benefit concert for “Tell me More and Then Some” John and Eartha and their work are featured prominently in “Tell me More and Then Some” and we will be presenting several film trailers at the beginning of the show. John’s “Favorites” program, which he has been presenting for several years, combines many of John’s favorite jazz tunes along with some of his favorite Baltimore-based instrumentalists. With John on trumpet, Bob Butta on piano, Gary Richardson on bass, Jesse Moody on drums, Sam King on alto saxophone along with the dynamic vocals of Eartha, this is going to be an exciting musical event that is not to be missed – and a true authentic Baltimore Jazz experience.
