A genre-defying, generation-defining artist who rejects boundaries, Croker lets his voice ring through the music. The grandson of legendary trumpeter Doc Cheatham, Crocker is a leading figure on the contemporary music scene, renowned for his entrancing melodies and innovative approach. He was a student of Donald Byrd, a protégé of Wynton Marsalis, and a veteran of performances with such jazz greats as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jimmy Heath, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Gary Bartz, Kassa Overall, and many more. Well-versed in the swing, bop, and modal styles of acoustic jazz, Croker’s own music reveals a love of organic funk, soul, and hip-hop. JazzWise reports, “Croker is a spiritualist and a politically minded artist and has long since turned his musical gaze towards a crossover culture where jazz, drum beats, reverberating, ethereal trumpet sounds, elements of hip-hop and club electronics, Afrofuturism, sampled voices and ritual tribal chants meet organically and combine to create a gripping, spacey concoction.” The Wall Street Journal calls his music “timeless and of the moment.”

One of the most acclaimed and beloved voices in jazz, McPherson’s rich musical style is rooted in the blues and bebop and has influenced and inspired generations of musicians and listeners for over six decades. He has performed at concerts and festivals around the world with jazz greats like Barry Harris, Billy Eckstine, Nat Adderley, Jay McShann, Phil Woods, Wynton Marsalis, James Moody, Dizzy Gillespie, and others. In a recent review, Downbeat states, “As a still-vibrant jazz veteran with ties to innovators like Charles Mingus and Lionel Hampton, McPherson’s writing carries on the traditional weight of bebop and swing, buoyed with an inventive, contemporary spark.” Paris Move writes of his recent acclaimed album, Reverence “If you love jazz, this album is already a legend.”
