Creative Sanctuary is excited to present “An Homage to the Message: the Music of Cedar Walton”. Continuing their ongoing series of concerts honoring composers associated with Art Blakey, James Zeller et al gather to honor one of their favorite composers and pianists, the late great Cedar Walton.

“We love to have this platform to introduce the community to composers they may not have heard, or at least don’t hear as often. Also, Cedar’s tunes are just exquisite, beautifully composed and compelling vehicles for improvisation. We’re really excited to work on and share his music live,” says James.

The show will feature James Zeller on trombone, Russ Thallheimer on Tenor Sax, Matthew Seno on piano, Ramsey Isaacs on drums and Lee Phillips…
