Zach Rich returns to Nocturne to lead a series that pays homage to the iconic composer/trumpeter, Roy Hargrove. Roy Hargrove established an early reputation for being a versatile trumpeter and composer, recording and producing music from several idioms of Black American Music including straight ahead Jazz, Hard Bop, Post Bop, Hip Hop, and RnB. This series serves to present Mr. Hargrove's music in a sequential manner, beginning with straight ahead Jazz and Hard Bop and ending with material from the RH Factor. Zach is joined for this performance by Gabe Mervine (trumpet), Dawn Clement (piano), Seth Lewis (bass) and Gabe Mangione (drums).
Zach Rich is a multi-award winning composer, trombonist, and educator based in Denver, Coloraodo. Zach has written music for many professional ensembles and organizations including the New York Youth Symphony, the Ravinia Steans Music Institute, the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra and many others. Recently he has worked with Billy Childs, Rufus Reid, Steve Wilson, Shane Endsley, John Clayton, and Wayne Bergeron.
