There’s so much about the heart and soul of this music that can’t be taught in a classroom. I’ve always wanted to help the younger musicians, passing on what I’ve learned just as the older musicians did for me. That’s how music continues to thrive. During the Covid lockdown, I channeled my creativity into composing and arranging for a group that existed in my imagination. While taking in late-night sets in New York and attending a weekly Emerging Artists Series in New Jersey, I encountered incredibly talented young musicians. Among them, pianist Mike Bond, bassist Jason Clotter and drummer Hank Allen-Barfield. Trumpeter Alonzo Demetrius came highly recommended by my friend, the late Ralph Peterson. I met trombonist Peter Lin through the great Slide Hampton. Drummer, Carmen Intorre I had met a few years earlier at a late-night session at Dizzy’s in New York. When the pandemic began to ease and a rehearsal space was made available nearby, I decided there was no better time to put together the sextet I had been thinking about. The pandemic had weighed down everybody and it felt like it was the right time to climb out from under and the Summit was born.

Legendary New York saxophonist Jerry Weldon played for many years with the famous Lionel Hampton Orchestra, and later with Jack McDuff, George Benson, and Harry Connick Jr. He is one of the most swinging and entertaining saxophonists on the New York scene, influenced by the great tenor players Dexter Gordon, Gene Ammons, and John Coltrane. Rob Bargad is a pianist, Hammond organist, singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and educator from Boston. After three years of study with Prof. Kenny Barron at Rutgers University, Rob moved to New York City in 1984, where he lived for 20 years. During this time, he played, toured, and/or recorded with jazz greats such as Lionel Hampton, Little Jimmy Scott, Dakota Staton, Jimmy Cobbs Mobb, Roy Hargrove, Peter Bernstein, Harper Brothers, Kevin Mahogany, and others.
