Hard Boppin' with the Jazz Prophets

International Jazz Trumpeter, Composer, and Educator Derrick Gardner has performed with the likes of Tony Bennett, Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, and countless others. He has toured with Harry Connick Jr. and recorded with the Count Basie Orchestra.

On Thursday the 19th, Derrick is bringing his Jazz Prophets to "It's Commonly Jazz" in Eden Park. I highly suggest you stop down to hear these guys and their signature sound of Hard Bop. The Jazz Half talked with Derrick Gardner on growing up in a musical family household, his latest release "Echoes of Ethnicity", and more.

Have a listen to the exclusive interview.
