The program is presented by The Rob Thorsen Jazz Quartet which features some of the best jazz musicians in San Diego and even California. The quartet features bassist Rob Thorsen, trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos, guitarist Bob Boss and drummer Richard Sellers.
Their program is called Jazz, An American Artform. The quartet performs songs from the various eras of jazz music, beginning with the early New Orleans Dixieland music through the big band, bebop, Latin “salsa” jazz and the fusion jazz movement. The group also demonstrates each instrument individually, improvisation and the teamwork necessary to create a successful ensemble. It’s educational but fun for students.
