PSH Jazz Trio
Now that Wyatt is back in North Carolina, he has formed a new band with Malik Pratt (ds) and Morgan Henry (b) called PSH Jazz Trio. Enjoy this video from the group’s inaugural performance at The River and Rails Tavern in Dillsboro. The song is “There Will Never Be Another You” by Harry Warren.
New Release: Palouse EP!
The culmination of Wyatt’s work as a graduate student, Palouse EP is a set of three jazz standards arranged by Wyatt as well as an original jazz/punk fusion piece based on research of both styles. Although it was a tremendous amount of work, the process of writing, arranging, and recording this project was absolutely incredible.
