"IMAGINE NATION is the debut CD by Darren English, a young trumpet player, composer and arranger who is already building an international reputation. Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, English has performed extensively in his native country and around Europe. He currently lives in Atlanta, GA, where he went to school and where he now performs regularly, attracting the attention of the top jazz talent in the region.

For this, his first performance in Knoxville, English enlists the help of some of our city's most exciting young musicians: saxophonist Jamel Mitchell, bassist Clint Mullican, pianist Keith Brown, and drummer Kenneth Brown. Sure to be a night to remember!"
