LIVE at Piedmont Piano Company

David Weiss Sextet

Trumpet master, composer, and inventive arranger David Weiss brings his outstanding New York sextet to the West coast to promote his newly released recording, Auteur. The recording spotlights original music, never-before-recorded compositions from Freddie Hubbard and Slide Hampton.  Praised by The New York Times and the Village Voice for his bold inventions over the years, Weiss’ music evokes emotional complexity — abundance and loss, the collateral beauty of pain — and transmits a deeply personal sound informed by his strong connection to hard bop, swing, and free improvisation traditions. David Weiss (trumpet), Myron Walden (alto sax), Teodross Avery (tenor sax), David Bryant- (piano), Essiet Essiet (bass), and E.J. Strickland (drums).

“The sextet skirts the outer reaches of straight-ahead jazz, innovating while drawing from tradition.” –Sharonne Cohen, JazzTimes 

“…an expressive but underappreciated soloist…[Weiss’] masterful ensemble writing and rich horn voicings…remain with the listener.”  –Bill Milkowski, The Absolute Sound
