Join us as we celebrate Delco Arts Week with a performance by the Fareed Simpson Quintet! Fareed Simpson-Hankins is a trumpet player, composer, educator and bandleader born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His trumpet playing is inspired by the sound of Miles Davis, the technical virtuosity of Dizzy Gillespie, the soulfulness of Lee Morgan, the confidence of Freddie Hubbard, and the joy and spirit of Louis Armstrong. The band performs a wide range of repertoire ranging from Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and more. Every member of the band is based in the soulful and swinging Philly Jazz traditions. The band also features original music and performs as a quartet and quintet. It has been featured at The Kimmel Center, the Rite of Swing Jazz Cafe, and at the Producers Guild summer jazz festival.
This event is a part of Delco Arts Week 2024!
