The award winning Rob Thorsen Quartet will perform a variety of music which includes jazz, Latin music, original compositions and more. The band includes bassist Rob Thorsen, virtuoso pianist Melonie Grinnell, the hardest working drummer in San Diego Richard Sellers and introducing Young Lions product Kahlil Childs on sax. Together they integrate many different music styles that contribute to their modern jazz sound. From Duke Ellington to Wayne Shorter and Miles Davis, the quartet weaves together a unique sound that honors the jazz masters while inspiring a fresh approach to this great American art form. Bassist Rob Thorsen maintains a diverse and busy schedule in Southern California as a performer, educator, clinician and composer. After playing classical guitar, flute, saxophones, tuba and electric bass as a youth, he found his true voice in the upright bass. “When I began playing upright bass, the fact that I felt the sound as much as heard it had a profound effect on me. I was hooked for life.”
