Julius Rodriguez

Two weeks before releasing his debut record on Verve, the world’s largest jazz catalog, a new young prodigy channeled the spirit, dynamic, and virtuosic interplay of legendary bebop for a stunned crowd. Transforming Glasshaus into Village Vanguard of the 1960s, Julius Rodriguez offered acoustic renditions of his work, confirming why luminaries Wynton Marsalis, A$AP Rocky, Keyon Harrold, and Macy Gray have asked him to perform alongside them.

He was accompanied by the incredible Giveton Gelin on trumpet, Philip Norris on upright bass, and Brian Richburg, Jr. on drums.
