MJI PRESENTS: LENARD SIMPSON TRIO

Originally hailing from Milwaukee, Chicago-based alto saxophonist Lenard Simpson is “quickly becoming one of the most important saxophonists of this generation” (Kiefer) and has secured a spot as a rising star among his contemporaries. From his early days in Milwaukee to formal studies at Northern Illinois University (B.M., jazz performance) and UCLA’s Herbie Hancock Institute (M.M., music performance jazz), Simpson’s natural ability and outstanding musicianship have been recognized by some of the most celebrated jazz musicians and pedagogues across the world, including Herbie Hancock, Christian McBride, Wayne Shorter, and many more. Don’t miss this chance to hear this all-star trio.
