DOYLESTOWN, PA -- Terell Stafford has been hailed “one of the great players of our time” by piano legend McCoy Tyner. The critically-acclaimed trumpeter and friends perform for Jazz Night at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania on Saturday, May 2. Held in the Museum’s Ann and Herman Silverman Pavilion, Jazz Night features an hors d’oeuvre reception and access to myriad art exhibitions on view in the galleries.
Stafford is known for performances with Benny Golson’s Sextet, McCoy Tyner’s Sextet, the Kenny Barron Sextet, the Frank Wess Quintet, the Jimmy Heath Big Band and the Jon Faddis Orchestra. A regular at such famed venues as Village Vanguard in New York City, he is currently a member of the Grammy-nominated Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and participates in groups led by drummer Matt Wilson and drummer Alvin Queen.
Fans can hear Stafford’s versatile style and ambitious edge on over 40 albums, including five as a leader. Among them, Taking Chances: Live at the Dakota (MaxJazz Records, 2007) “finds Terell Stafford carving out his place among the crowded field of talented trumpeters,” according to All About Jazz, and showcases a set so impressive that it “isn’t taking chances; it’s taking charge,” says Jazz Times.
An educator as well as a performer, Stafford is Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia and is a clinician for the prestigious Vail Foundation in Colorado and Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington Program. He has served as a faculty member for the Juilliard Institute for Jazz Studies in New York. He received a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from the University of Maryland in 1988 and a Masters of Music from Rutgers University in 1993.

The concert takes place from 8:30 to 11:00 p.m. with one intermission. Museum galleries are open until 10:00 p.m.
