Pharez Whitted

There are many moments that can define a man’s life and for Pharez Whitted, this is one of them. He’s taken on the new role as Chicago’s Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) Jazz Director and Howard Reich at the Chicago Tribune described Pharez perfectly – “Few Chicago musician-educators are more qualified than Whitted to build the new band, for he commands a richly deserved reputation as a trumpet virtuoso, seasoned educator and irrepressible champion of the music.”

Joining Pharez is the UNC Faculty Jazz:

Rahsaan Barber – saxophone

Stephen Anderson – piano

Jason Foureman – bass

Dan Davis – drums
