Chad McCullough’s Firestarter

CHAD MCCULLOUGH’S FIRESTARTER.  Heralded for his “solos of mercurial poetry and high craft” Chicago Tribune, Chicago-based trumpeter/composer Chad McCullough is active throughout the world. Dan McClenaghan writes, “He is a rare instrumentalist who makes each note sound as if it were imbued with a deeper meaning. Certainly a player with great chops, his approach is one that is measured and deliberate, often introspective, sometimes gorgeously melancholic, and one that employs a continuity of mood and atmosphere …”  The band includes CHAD McCullough, 4-valve flugelhorn, trumpet; St. Trumpah, trumpet; John Christensen, acoustic bass and Jon Deitemyer, drums.  Presented by Blue Stem Jazz.  North Street Cabaret, 610 North St.  8pm.  Tickets $20.
