Last weekend’s concert was amazing and this week’s concert will be equally rewarding. One of the things we try to do with the Summit is feature talent before they get Grammys, world attention, and command fees well above our current budgets – yes this has happened! We poll past summit artists regularly to see who’s the new hot talent on the scene and this time Harold Charon’s name kept coming up. He will be bringing his sextet to Second Church this Saturday. 

Originally from Havana, he began piano lessons at 5 years old. Exuding musicianship decades beyond his years, he went on a Canadian tour which included the Halifax Jazz Festival. He received training from Fred Hersh, Taylor Eigsty, Billy Childs, and the late great jazz master Chick Corea.
