Led by world-renowned trumpet player and educator Terell Stafford, Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia is quickly becoming the face of Philadelphia jazz, establishing the city as a national and international destination for music lovers. They return to the Kimmel Center with a program celebrating the music of Thelonious Monk, with special guest pianists Orrin Evans and Eric Reed.

The program will also feature what has become a JOP holiday tradition for the past three years, a performance of The Harlem Nutcracker.

“JOP’s three generations of players, all standard-bearers with a jazz-forward aesthetic, amply show that big-band jazz is alive and relevant.” ~ Broad Street Review
