Musicians for this performance include:
- Bob Afifi on flute and piccolo;
- Pete Estabrook on trumpet and flugelhorn;
- Charlie McCarthy on alto sax;
- Mel Martin on clarinet, tenor, and soprano saxophones;
- Jason Robinson on tenor sax;
- Randy Vincent on guitar;
- Dave McNab on guitar;
- John Simon on piano;
- Miles Wick on bass;
- Babatunde Lea on drums and percussion.
Graves has been writing and performing jazz, contemporary classical, and world-influenced music for over 40 years, and has led the Jazz Program at Sonoma State University for the past 25 years. The debut will take place October 27 at the Raven Theater, Healdsburg. Please join us that evening for a musical journey performed by the Bay Area's most gifted jazz musicians.
