Theo Croker in concert

Jazz to lift the spirits. Rising trumpet star Theo Croker performs live in concert.

Kevin Le Gendre presents jazz to lift the spirits, recording from his front room. This week’s featured concert comes from trumpeter Theo Croker, a rising US star whose latest album, Star People Nation, was one of the highlights of 2019. As the grandson of venerable trumpeter Doc Cheatham and a student of the great Donald Byrd, Croker has an impressive jazz pedigree, but he’s equally at home in the world of hip hop and has worked with superstar rappers Common and J. Cole.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
