Jon Crespo Quartet - Beyond Armstrong

Jon Crespo is a musician with vast global performance and touring experience. His credits include

Lenny Kravitz, The Beach Boys, The Box Tops, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Platters, Michael

Ball and Gareth Gates.

Beyond Armstrong is a unique tribute to trumpets players who were inspired by and appeared on the

jazz scene after Louis Armstrong. Arguably, one would suggest that modern jazz trumpet playing

owes its roots and influences to him. In some way, every trumpet player owes approach,

understanding and their sound to Armstrong. This tribute will explore and pay homage to some of

those players - including Miles Davis, Tom Harrell, Woody Shaw and more.
