Concert Series: Camille Thurman with Darrell Green Quartet
2025-10-23 19:30 - 21:00
As a composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and unique interpreter of the jazz tradition, Camille Thurman is quickly becoming one of the standard bearers for the form, making a considerable and dynamic contribution to the legacy of jazz while paying tribute to its heroes.
Fluid and powerful on the tenor saxophone and highly inventive as a vocalist, she also plays bass clarinet, flute, and piccolo. Her rich sax sound has been compared to Joe Henderson and Dexter Gordon, while her vocal approach—including an impressive scatting ability—has been classified alongside those of Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter.
Thurman made history becoming the first woman in 30 years to tour, record, and perform full-time internationally with the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (2018-2020 season). When she is not touring with the JALCO, Thurman is on the road with the Darrell Green Quartet, with whom she has played at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

The 2025-2026 Concert Series is supported in part by John H. Dean DDS and Mary Ann Coleman, Mimi San Pedro, Olivia Farrell, and Susan Conley.
