24-year old Jazz trumpeter Johnny Graham releases a prequel EP to his forthcoming
album 'The Inspiration". The album is a creative collection of R&B,
hip-hop and traditional jazz influences.Graham performs on the album and
live alongside The Groove, his collective of young musicians and
singers.The release of the album comes just a week after his graduation
from the University of Maryland-College Park’s full-time MBA program
where he was a Dean’s Scholar. On working on the album while being a
full-time student Graham says, "This is a very special time of
transition in my life and for many people around me, I wanted to capture
this moment musically.”
“The motive behind the sound of this project was to draw inspiration
from all the places I would perform, the people I would meet and create a
musical connection that reflected their energy.” The album’s release
concert will be held Thursday May 31st at DC’s own Busboys and Poets,
14th & V Location. The album will be available on ITunes as well as through Graham’s website May 29th.
