About Joel Frahm:
A regular on the New York City club circuit, award-winning saxophonist Joel Frahm has appeared alongside noted jazz artists such as Brad Mehldau, Bill Charlap, and Matt Wilson and has recorded with Dianne Schuur, Freddy Cole, Jane Monheit, and others. He has performed at jazz clubs, music clinics, and jazz festivals around the world. Fans know him for his big tenor sound — fluid, inventive and full of passion.
The Modern Masters Jazz Series is guest-curated by renowned two-decade New Orleans jazz guitarist Ted Ludwig, who has received an ASCAP award, the Louis Armstrong award, and the Overture to the Cultural Season award, and is a member of The Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame. Each month in 2020, Crosstown Arts welcomes jazz artists from New Orleans, NYC, LA, and beyond, who will perform with The Ted Ludwig Trio. Highlights include Roseanna Vitro, who has sung with Christian McBride, Elvin Jones, and Lionel Hampton; Ed Cherry, of Dizzy Gillespie’s band; GRAMMY-winner Victor Atkins; and Dee Dee Bridgewater saxophonist Ed Peterson.
