While study-ing Sociology at the University of Georgia, Wright furthered his study of jazz improvisation 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 Mid-town, 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 Considered.Wright also plays freelance in the Athens and Atlanta area and has per-formed with Yellowjackets bassist Jimmy Haslip, John Patitucci, Joe Lovano, Corey Christiansen and Darmon Meader of the New York Voices. Wright 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 Mu-sic and Arts Festival, the Lake Oconee Jazz Festival, and the Atlanta Jazz Festival.  In early 2008, Trey began playing with the Cobb Symphony Jazz Orchestra.In December of 2002, Wright completed a Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies at Georgia State University, and he currently is on faculty at Ken-nesaw State University and the Atlanta Institute of Music. Wright has also taught at LaGrange College, Gainesville College and was a Jazz Artist in Residence at the University of Georgia.

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 arriving in Atlanta in August, 2008, Justin Chesarek, a transplant from rural Pennsyl-vania, 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 every note and beat he comes across. The end product is jazz — the vir-tuosity 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 dif-ferent rhythms and colors,” said Justin. 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, Pennsylvania, Justin holds a Bachelors of Music in Education. Under the direction of Dr. Stephen Hawk, Justin com-pleted a two-week European tour, making appearances at the Montreaux Jazz Festival and the North Sea Jazz Festival. Justin finished his Masters of Music in Jazz Studies program in May, 2010, at Georgia State University and currently teaches at Emory University and Kennesaw State Univer-sity. Justin endorses Vic Firth drumsticks.
