Tommy Lehman Akron-native trumpeter and rising star of Connecticut's Hartt School of Music brings original compositions & arrangements with all-star lineup in return to BLU! Featuring Tommy Lehman, Sam Blakeslee, Jackson Laskey, Kip Reed, Anthony Taddeo.
Trumpeter Tommy Lehman is a native of Akron and graduate of Firestone High School. He has been playing professionally in the Northeast Ohio music scene for the past two years, regularly performing with the Sam Blakeslee Large Group, Ernie Krivda’s Fat Tuesday Big Band, and his own group – Akron’s own, Acid Cats.
Upon his completion at the renowned jazz studies program at Tri-C in Cleveland, Tommy transferred to the prestigious Hartt School of Music in West Hartford, Connecticut to continue his collegiate studies with Freddie Hendrix and Javon Jackson.
The concept of this group came to fruition during his time at Tri-C, where he found a love for composition and writing for small groups. The band is comprised of premier local players, many of whom are familiar faces to the BLU Jazz+ stage. Come be a part of their return Akron’s jazz capital! Featuring Tommy Lehman (trumpet), Sam Blakeslee (trombone), Jackson Laskey (piano), Kip Reed (bass), Anthony Taddeo (drums).
