You could argue at this point that Theron Brown is the glue that holds the Akron, Ohio jazz scene together. Between his work as the founder and director of the annual Rubber City Jazz and Blues Festival, the artistic director of the I Promise School, the artist coordinator for the Curated Storefront and his heavy involvement with the Jazz Education program at the University of Akron, he's arguably the hardest working man in show business.

So we were lucky to manage to snag his trio for this performance. Featuring, Zaire Darden on Drums, Jordan McBride on Bass and Theron Brown on Piano – and from an October 25th, 2024 performance – it's the Theron Brown Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.
