Freddie Hendrix, one of the "most in-demand trumpeters in Jazz" boasts performance credits with jazz legends Count Basie Orchestra and The Christian McBride Big Band, and with superstars Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Alicia Keys. Davis Whitfield, whose sound has been compared to McCoy Tyner and Thelonius Monk, is an emerging presence in the NYC scene.
