Julius Rodriguez

Julius Rodriguez is an artist who transcends perceived boundaries between style and genre. his debut, Let Sound Tell All, was hailed by NPR as “a project so dynamic that even the umbrella of jazz couldn’t quite contain its essence.” Whether on piano, synths, bass or drums, he has performed in clubs and festivals around the globe.

With Evergreen, Rodriguez continues his flight to freedom on a collection of originals, with featured performers trumpeter Keyon Harrold and vocalist Georgia Anne Muldrow..

Julius brings his artistry to the stage at Caramoor on July 27th.

In jazz radio, great announcers are distinguished by their ability to convey the spontaneity and passion of the music. Gary Walker is such an announcer, and his enthusiasm for this music greets WBGO listeners every morning on Daybreak. He's the winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year Award and the recipient of the 2021 Marian McPartland-Willis Conover Award for Career Achievement in Broadcasting from the Jazz Journalists Association. Gary hosts the morning show each weekday from 8am til noon. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
