The new release from trumpeter/composer Wayne Tucker titled Wake Up and See the Sun (One Trick Dog Records – November 3rd, 2017) is the type of recording that is larger-than-life from blank staff paper to the masterful music that makes it to the final recording. Joined by some of the finest musicians in today’s music scene such as Jason Marshall, Sullivan Fortner, Yasushi Nakamura and Cyrille Aimée among others, Wayne Tucker just plain gets it.

If you love live music that's made with real instruments, then you know that there's no other music like it. It makes you feel good, it makes you laugh, dance, and sing along! Tucker has created a musical collage that was inspired by song writers Stevie Wonder and Frank Ocean, Jazz icons like Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, Composers such as Debussy, and Beethoven, Hip Hop legends including Jay-Z and Nas, as well as incredible new artists like Ambrose Akinmusire and Kendrick Lamar. So, as you can see, this album is a unique blend of Pop music, Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop, R&B, and much more. We always ask for something different that filled with uniqueness and memory. Here it Is! Welcome to Wayne Tucker’s universe.
