ABRAHAM BURTON QUINTET (2 SETS) — live event
Born and raised in Greenwich Village, the “Mecca” of jazz, Abraham’s interest in music was ignited by the many pioneers on the New York scene. Determined to explore the jazz idiom, Abraham attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & the Performing Arts, under the tutelage of head jazz instructor Justin Dicioccio. Abraham was chosen by Dicioccio to be the alto man in an all-star quintet, which was awarded best jazz combo by Downbeat Magazine. In addition, Abraham received an award for outstanding soloist. In the same year, Abraham won the McDonald’s Jazz Combo Competition in trio fashion. While in high school, Abraham frequented jazz clubs and became personally acquainted with and mentored by many popular jazz artists such as Cecile Bridgewater, Richard Davis, Water Davis Jr., Barry Harris, Billy Higgins, Elvin Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Max Roach, Bill Saxton and Fredrick Waits, to whom Abraham credits much of his musical foundation and education.
