Jeremy will be joined by an exceptional collection of Colorado jazz notables including Derek Banach (trumpet), Dave Hanson (piano), Mark Simon (bass), Todd Reid (drums).

After returning to Colorado in 2000, Jeremy has built a career spanning jazz, classical, rock, and musical theater, playing lead alto with the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra and the Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra and founding the Confluence Saxophone Quartet.
