Trey Wright is a jazz guitarist, composer, and

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

Several of Trey’s compositions with the group have received international
