Theo Croker

Trumpeter Theo Croker’s clear musical approach and determination dates back to Croker's teenage days forming big bands and fearlessly pushing the bounds of the music played by his grandfather, trumpeter Doc Cheatham. Theo’s reach includes collaborations with vocalists Ari Lennox and Jill Scott, rappers J. Cole and Wyclef Jean, and mentors including NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater and saxophonist Gary Bartz. Croker's latest albums, LOVE QUANTUM and BLK2LIFE // A FUTURE PAST, and BY THE WAY showcase Theo’s journey as a trumpeter, composer and producer in expanding the music commonly known as jazz with hip-hop, R&B and electronic sounds.
