Prize-winning trumpeter Philip Dizack has realized his vision.

For some time now, he has dreamed of bringing his jazz quartet together with a nine-piece brass band. When the swinging, warm-sounding jazz ensemble is combined with a cluster of superb brass instruments, sparks fly, harmonies collide, and new sounds and structures are found.

Dizack is a master of restraint who understands how to make the melodies sing and the phrasing speak. You can look forward to a special evening, in which well-modulated tones radiate in the tradition of post-bop and contemporary jazz is elevated to a new level with melodious solos.

Philip Dizack, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, began playing the alto saxophone and the trombone at the age of 10 before switching to the trumpet. After graduating from high school, he toured the United States, Canada and Japan with the Stan Getz/Clifford Brown All Stars big band. In 2003, he studied at the Manhattan School of Music and also played in the New York jazz scene, where he soon established himself as a sensitive, versatile trumpeter. Philip Dizack has released three albums under his own name, and appears on more than 35 albums as a sideman. He modulates his sound in a highly deliberate and differentiated way, inspiring audiences in the tradition of understatement and lyricism of Miles Davis.
