Denney Theatre at Kinder HSPVA
790 Austin StreetDon't miss this opportunity to hear student musicians at one of the nation's premier high school jazz programs featuring alumni Daleton Lee and Brandon Lee!
Daleton Lee ('99) is a Houston-based drummer and is quick to credit several of his HSPVA predecessors as inspirations: Chris Dave, Eric Harland, Mark Simmons and Joel Fulgham; in addition, his Johnston Middle School director, Craig Green and former Houstonian Todd Harrison. Upon graduating from HSPVA, Daleton almost-instantly became Houston’s busiest jazz/commercial drummer and remains so today. A career highlight was appearing with Juan Fernando Fonesca at the Latin Grammys in 2008.
Brandon Lee ('01) is a New York City-based trumpeter, composer, arranger and educator. His impressive performance credits include three albums as leader, two as co-leader, over 30 as sideman, membership in the Count Basie and Christian McBride big bands and laudatory orchestra credits on Broadway. He holds three degrees from Juilliard, where he was a member of its highly selective inaugural jazz studies class in 2001. Brandon was formerly a professor at University of North Carolina/Greensboro and is currently jazz trumpet professor at New York University.
During Saturday’s concert, the brothers Lee will both be inducted into the HSPVA Jazz Hall of Fame, which is sponsored by DocFest, Inc. Founded in 2013, the previous 25 inductees may be observed via docfestjazz.org.
