Composers featured in these sets will include: Kenny Garrett, Harold Mabern, Mulgrew Miller, Bobby Hutcherson, as well as a handful of original compositions by Mr Banach.  

Colorado native Derek Banach has performed professionally for over 30 years in a variety of settings from Jazz to Hip-Hop, Salsa, Classical, and Reggae. His roots are firmly set in the Hard-Bop stylings of 60's period icons such as Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw. Derek's quintet album, 'Tugende' displays his composing talents and personal approach to trumpet playing. He has recorded with Italian producer Nicola Conte, Quintetto X, Paul Mulliken and has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Richie Cole, Joe Bonner and Ron Miles.
