The U.S. Embassy, in cooperation with the Guyana Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport, welcomes the Phil Dunlap Trio to Georgetown during the week of September 9 to 14, 2013. Their visit is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Cultural Affairs.

The U.S. Embassy, in cooperation with the Guyana Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport, welcomes the Phil Dunlap Trio to Georgetown during the week of September 9 to 14, 2013. Their visit is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Cultural Affairs. The Jazz Ambassadors Program was established in 1961 to encourage cultural exchange between Americans and citizens of other countries. The State Department has sent legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, and Benny Goodman all over the world and will continue to promote jazz abroad through programs such as Art Envoys, Rhythm Road, American Voices, and others. 

The Phil Dunlap Trio will perform in a series of jazz concerts and educational workshops during the week. Highlights include a jam session with some of Guyana’s top jazz players, an educational presentation and performance at the St. John’s Bosco Boys Orphanage, in-depth workshops with students and staff from the National School of Music, and educational presentations and performances at the Bishop’s High School and Berbice High School. The Trio will conclude the week with a free concert open to the public at the Theater Guild on Friday, September 13 at 7:00p.m. This event is open to the public with seats available on a first come, first served basis, so those interested in attending should plan to arrive early.

The Trio consists of Phil Dunlap, (keyboard) Nicholas Jost, (bass guitar) and Marty Morrison (drums). Phil Dunlap currently resides in Georgetown’s sister city, St. Louis, Missouri. He frequently performs with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and is an adjunct Professor of Music at the University of Missouri. Nicholas Jost has played with the likes of Reggie Thomas, Eric Slaughter, and Sean Jones. As an educator, he has served as a faculty member in camps throughout the United States and also in Kathmandu, Nepal. Marty Morrison has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, and, among many others, Phil Woods. He is currently a Professor of Jazz Studies at Missouri State University.
