This year, we are thrilled to welcome David Murray Infinity Quartet to campus. David Murray was born in 1955 in Oakland, California. He entered the world of jazz music at a young age and has since been involved in a plethora of ensembles (World Saxophone Quartet-WSQ, David Murrey Octet, big band, smaller ensembles, duets, even playing solo), sometimes putting down his tenor sax to pick up a bass clarinet. David Murray and his quartet will present a concert rooted in traditional jazz, with a fine selection of musicians:
David Murray (tenor sax & bass clarinet), John Betsch (drums), Pepe Rivero (piano) and Reinier Elizarde (doublebass)
