Veteran saxophonist Tim Warfield—renowned for his annual holiday appearances in Chicago—brings his artistry to the iconic Jazz Showcase ahead of schedule. As a featured artist for the club’s longstanding Charlie Parker Month tradition, Warfield delivers his signature soulful tone and commanding improvisational mastery.
A luminary of post-bop and straight-ahead jazz, Warfield has shared the stage with many giants such as Dizzy Gillespie, Isaac Hayes, Jimmy Smith, and Shirley Scott, as well as alongside contemporaries like Christian McBride, Joey DeFrancesco, Nicholas Payton and Stefon Harris. His discography spans multiple Grammy-nominated projects as well as celebrated albums under his own name. Today, he shapes the next generation of artists as an Assistant Professor and Coordinator of the Jazz Masters in Music program at Temple University’s Boyer College of Music, working under the leadership of Terell Stafford.
