Chris Buzzelli Andrew Lastrapes, Anthony Mancini, Jared Leach,Nick Franz, Christian Artieda, guitarsJordan Thomas, bassRobert Boone, drumsLecturer in Jazz Guitar and Jazz StudiesTrey Wright is a jazz guitarist, composer, and recording artist based in Roswell, Ga.  Initially inspired by the blues, Trey was exposed to jazz early in his development by a private instructor.  While studying Sociol-ogy at the University of Georgia, Wright furthered his study of jazz impro-visation with pianist and composer Steve Dancz.  In 1994, he co-founded the Athens/Atlanta based jazz band Squat.  The group is a six-time winner of Best Jazz Band at the Flagpole Athens Music Awards and has been a featured artist at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, Bel Chere, the Twilight Athens Jazz Festival, the Cherry Blossom Festival, Harvest Midtown, and Athfest. Several of Trey’s compositions with the group have received international airplay and have been featured on Sirius radio and NPR’s All Things Con-sidered. Trey also performs freelance in the Athens and Atlanta area and has per-formed with Yellowjackets bassist Jimmy Haslip, John Patitucci, Joe Lova-no, Corey Christiansen and Darmon Meader of the New York Voices.  Trey has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz A Vienne, and the World Sacred Music Festival in Bangalore, India.  As a solo guitarist and with his trio, Trey has been a featured performer at the Athens Music and Arts Fes-tival, the Lake Oconee Jazz Festival, and the Atlanta Jazz Festival.  In early 2008, Trey began playing with the Georgia Symphony Jazz Orchestra.  In December of 2002, Trey completed a Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies at Georgia State University and he currently teaches Applied Jazz Guitar, Jazz Theory and Composition, Jazz Guitar Ensemble, Jazz History, Jazz Improvisation and The History of Rock at Kennesaw State University. Trey has also taught at LaGrange College, Gainesville College, the Atlanta Institute of Music and was a Jazz Artist in Residence at the University of Georgia.  In addition, Trey writes a column on Jazz Harmony for the Gui-tar for the quarterly print magazine Just Jazz Guitar. In 2006, Trey released his first CD Where I’m Calling From, receiving rave reviews and airplay throughout the United States, New Zealand, Eng-land, Australia, Germany, Italy, Canada, Luxembourg, Scotland, and the Netherlands.  The Trey Wright Trio released Thinking Out Loud in the sum-mer of 2009 on Blue Canoe Records. In 2010, The CD was included in the first round Grammy Nominations for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. In the Fall of 2012, the Trey Wright Trio’s version of Thom Yorke’s “Analyze” was included on the compilation Head Radio Retransmissions:  A Tribute to Radiohead on the German label ESC records.  Trey’s long awaited collabo-ration with saxophonist Mace Hibbard, The Hibbard/Wright Project, will be released in March of 2013.  Artist-in-Residence Jazz PercussionJustin Chesarek is all about swing. It’s what drives him, it’s what makes him strike drum heads with well-composed intensity, and it’s why some of the best jazz musicians in Atlanta keep him on call. Since arriv-ing in Atlanta in August, 2008, Justin Chesarek, a transplant from rural Pennsylvania, has made quite a name for himself. He isn’t your average session drummer. While regularly playing gigs with Gary Motley, Laura Coyle, and Gordon Vernick, Justin also flexes his composing muscles with his group, The Tree-O of Love, who maintain a regular Wednesday night gig at Churchill Grounds, Atlanta’s premier jazz club. Pulling diverse influences from jazz, classical, rock, world music, Justin writes and plays music with emotion, putting his artistry and talent in ev-ery note and beat he comes across. The end product is jazz - the virtuosity of Bebop, the soul and funkiness of the early days of Fusion, and a retro-modern mindset oozing with musicality and a beat that gets the inner ear thumpin’. “Composing as a drummer allows me to supply more of a concept of drums in melody. It gives me the opportunity to inject different rhythms and colors,” Justin said.Consorting with members of jazz royalty including Houston Person, Jerry Bergonzi, and Johnny O’Neal, just to name a few, Justin is regularly asked to perform with some of the biggest names around. A graduate of Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, Pa., Justin holds a Bachelors of Music in Education. Under the direction of Dr. Stephen Hawk, Justin completed a two-week European tour, making appearances at the Montreaux Jazz Fes-tival and the North Sea Jazz Festival. Justin finished his Masters of Music in Jazz Studies program in May, 2010 at Georgia State University and cur-rently teaches at Emory University and Kennesaw State University.DirectorMichael Alexander, Interim DirectorWoodwindsRobert Cronin, Flute Cecilia Price, FluteChristina Smith, Flute Elizabeth Koch Tiscione, Oboe Dane Philipsen, Oboe John Warren, Clarinet Laura Najarian, Bassoon Sam Skelton, SaxophoneBrass and PercussionKarin Bliznik, TrumpetDoug Lindsey, TrumpetJason Eklund, HornThomas Witte, HornGeorge Curran, Trombone Tom Gibson, Trombone Bernard Flythe, Tuba/EuphoniumMichael Moore, TubaJustin Chesarek, Jazz PercussionJohn Lawless, PercussionStringsHelen Kim, Violin Catherine Lynn, Viola Allyson Fleck, Viola Charae Krueger, Cello Douglas Sommer, Double Bass Joseph McFadden, Double BassElisabeth Remy Johnson, Harp Mary Akerman, Classical GuitarTrey Wright, Jazz GuitarMarc Miller, Jazz BassEnsembles & ConductorsLeslie J.
