This project has been a long time in the works! On Sunday, July 31 at 7pm, the Ben Markley Big Band featuring Terell Stafford plays the music of jazz legend Cedar Walton at Dazzle Jazz Club. Walton is famous for his work as leader with his trio and quartet Eastern Rebellion as well as sideman work with Art Blakey, Joe Henderson, and Freddie Hubbard among countless others. Walton spent a couple years in Denver studying at Denver University. While Walton's works are frequently played by small groups few of his tunes have been arranged for big band. This band celebrates some of Cedar Walton's well known works as well as some of his lesser known compositions.
