Faddis unbridled!
Gifted jazz trumpeter Jon Faddis, who was
famously described by Dizzy Gillespie as “…
the best ever, including me!” demonstrates
his breathtaking technical acuity in an upbeat
performance at the Fairmont Southampton.
Faddis reveals an extraordinary range: at one
moment summoning forth searing, stratospheric
high notes and then capturing enchantingly soft,
achingly thoughtful melodies in the next.
Skyrocketing to success under the wings
of legend Gillespie, Faddis went on to lead
several world-renowned bands and in tonight’s
performance leads his own: The Jon Faddis Jazz
Orchestra of New York, formerly known as The
Carnegie Hall Jazz Band with which Faddis earned
his formidable reputation.
