The Black History Month celebration at the Tiny Desk this year brought an exceptional lineup of artists from various genres and generations, including trumpeter Theo Croker, who took the stage for the first time. Theo Croker, known for his fearless approach to jazz influenced by his legendary grandfather Doc Cheatham, showcased his musical talent and unique style at the concert. Collaborating with artists like Jill Scott, J. Cole, and Wyclef Jean, Croker has pushed boundaries by infusing jazz with hip-hop, R&B, and electronic sounds in his albums like LOVE QUANTUM and BLK2LIFE // A FUTURE PAST. With seven studio albums to his name, multiple award nominations, and collaborations with acclaimed musicians, Croker continues to make his mark as a Grammy Award-nominated jazz trumpeter, composer, and producer.
