Hailed as the “future of the trumpet” by DownBeat, Keyon Harrold’s warm, expressive sound blends jazz, Afrobeat, rock, blues and hip-hop. With collaborators ranging from Beyoncé and Common to Gregory Porter and Robert Glasper, this “scorching trumpeter” and his sextet are joined for a special double bill with saxophonist and jazz prodigy Isaiah Collier. In 2024, Collier was a Chicago Tribune Jazz Artist of the Year, named to DownBeat’s “25 for the Future” and included in The New York Times’ top 10 jazz albums of the year. The “heir apparent to…the post-Coltrane sax tradition,” Collier makes his Penn Live Arts debut alongside his quartet in this unforgettable evening of jazz. (The New York Times)
