Jazz at The Earl: Jeff Walton Quartet X Nicolaus Gelin

Trumpeter Nicolaus Gelin is featured in this new concert series that "feels like the old Jazz Gallery on Hudson St. in New York!"
Nicolaus Gelin, a 23-year-old musician and artist from Miami, Florida, has received significant acclaim for his exceptional talents. Between 2017 and 2020, he earned several notable accolades, including the YoungArts Jazz Trumpet award, a Phil Knight award for scoring a short film in collaboration with Rosie Elliot, and selection for the Carnegie Hall NYO 2020 Jazz big band.
Recently graduated from the Manhattan School of Music and now attending the Herbie Hancock Institute for Jazz Studies, Nicolaus studied under distinguished mentors such as Ingrid Jensen and Jon Faddis. Notably, he was featured on Kabelo Mokhatla's debut album, "The Key To Authenticity," showcasing his versatility and collaborative spirit. His creative endeavors extend beyond performance; Nicolaus has developed a passion for black-and-white film photography and ventured into visual art since fall 2022. In October 2023, he co-founded the holistic wellness music group and brand "Resonance" with Stephane Clement, which has quickly gained recognition and acclaim.
Known as a creative playground for visual arts, comedy, literature, and classical music, The Earl is thrilled to launch "Jazz At The Earl," a new jazz series in partnership with saxophonist and composer Jeff Walton.
Fresh off the success of their album release show at The Earl, the Jeff Walton Quartet will be in residency each month - joined by a guest artist who brings their unique voice and compositions to the bandstand. Past guest artists include Nicole McCabe, Jon Hatamiya, and Devin Daniels.
Come to enjoy the music, sip on a drink, and support a new scene in LA! You might enjoy it as much as Teresa:
"It was so much fun to hear Jeff and his band play! The way they reinterpreted the songs on the record to fit the live atmosphere made it feel like a wholly unique experience for the audience. Excited to check out a future performance!"
