Art of Jazz Featuring Tyler Ross
Advertisement
The much-anticipated Art of Jazz Series is where the worlds of art and music come together. In partnership with the Gibbes Museum, this annual three-concert series features original jazz compositions inspired by artwork from the museum’s collection. This unique musical experience has quickly become a fan favorite and tends to sell out fast.
About the Performer:
Tyler Ross was born and bred in Neenah, Wisconsin and credits his strong work ethic (“I’m happiest when I can get three solid hours of practice in a day”) and devotion to music to his upbringing. “Wisconsin folks work harder and play harder than any culture I’ve been a part of.”
Tyler took to guitar at age 12, and “as soon as I picked up the guitar, I was writing songs,” jazz tunes, and the like. “I work at writing every day.” Inspired by dozens, including the Beatles, The Allman Brothers (specifically Dickey Betts) and Neil Young, Tyler first began performing guitar duos with his father; years later he worked taverns and clubs in Wisconsin “until 2am!”
His craft was honed at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Western Illinois University, and beyond traditional guitar, he also plays the lap steel guitar, Rickenbacker bass guitar, and rock-n-roll drums. As a member of the College of Charleston Jazz Faculty, Tyler Ross has between 15-20 guitar students – he teaches jazz combo, guitar ensemble and jazz repertoire class. Tyler is also a long time member of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra.
Musicians:
Tyler Ross – Guitar
Gerald Gregory – Keyboards
Jake Holwegner – Bass
David Patterson – Drums
