Summer Jazz on the Terrace continues with a live outdoor performance by the Abraham Burton & Eric McPherson Quartet, in collaboration with Hamptons Jazz Fest.
Eric McPherson was born and raised in New York, having been immersed in music from birth – surrounded by music, rehearsals and performances, McPherson grew up in an orbit of major jazz artists including Max Roach, Michael Carvin, Charles Mofett, Elvin Jones, among others. McPherson was playing and performing by age 12 at Barry Harris’ Jazz Cultural Theater and would attend the prestigious LaGuardia High School of the Arts, later making debuts at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. McPherson would earn a full scholarship to the Jackie McLean Institute at the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford, and go on to perform with McLean for nearly 15 years and major venues and festivals worldwide.
Abraham Burton is a world-renowned saxophonist and educator, prominent on the jazz scene, with two Grammy award-winning albums. Like McPherson, Burton attended the LaGuardia High School of the Arts as well as the McLean Institute of Music at the University of Hartford. In 2013, Burton received the prestigious Ralph Bunche Fellowship at Rutgers University where he obtained his Master’s Degree in Music and has since joined the faculty at both Rutgers and Hartford, where his classes are in high demand. His decades of experience and commitment to music have made him an exceptional musician and gifted educator. Burton’s professional career initiated with master drummer Arthur Taylor and would begin touring throughout Europe and at popular New York jazz clubs including The Village Vanguard, Blue Note, Sweet Basil and Birdland.
