Legendary Jazz Trumpeter
Randy Brecker
featured guest artist
with
Tod Dickow & Charged Particles
Two shows
7:00 and 9:00 PM.
Presented by The Frostburg State University Department of Music, Theatre and Dance with support from the FSU Foundation and the Cumberland Jazz Society, the show features guest Randy Brecker with Tod Dickow & Charged Particles.
Jazz trumpeter and composer Randy Brecker has helped shape the sound of jazz, R&B and rock for over six decades. His trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Parliament/Funkadelic to Frank Sinatra, Steely dan, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa. His is well-known for his work with his brother and saxophonist, Michael in The Brecker Brothers from 1974-2007. During that time, they released six albums and garnered seven Grammy nominations. Mr. Brecker has worked with an endless list of jazz musicians following his early work with the Horace Silver Quintet.
Formed in the early 1990s, and taking its name from a Chick Corea composition, California-based Charged Particles crosses stylistic boundaries and blends diverse traditions to create engaging new sounds. In 2011, the third generation of the band was born in California. The west coast trio began with Murray Low firing up the keyboards and Jason Muscat on electric bass. When Jason joined the touring band “Tainted Love” , Aaron Germain took over blazing on the electric bass. Founding member, John Krosnick anchors the band on the drums.
San Francisco based jazz saxophonist Tod Dickow performs in a wide variety of setting ranging from big bands to small combos adding a dynamic voice as an accomplished soloist and accompanist. He has performed at major venues including The Monterey Jazz Festival, The Kool Jazz Festival, Yoshi’s and SFjazz. Mr. Dickow has performed alongside well-known artists including Dave Brubeck, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra Jr. and more. He keeps Michael Brecker’s music and spirit alive.
