First\, the Gullah Collective\, led by CL Baxter\, honors the Gullah Geechee musical traditions of the Sea Islands\, bringing ancestral rhythms and soulful storytelling to life. \nFollowing them\, the legendary drummer Herlin Riley leads his Quartet—with Oscar Rossignoli on piano\, Max Moran on bass\, and Julian Lee on tenor and soprano saxophone—paying tribute to the dynamic rhythms and improvisational spirit of New Orleans jazz. \nTogether\, these performances highlight the deep connections between two iconic American jazz cultures\, offering a rich\, immersive celebration of rhythm\, heritage\, and improvisation. \n\nThe Herlin Riley performance and education programs are presented as part of Jazz Is Community\, an initiative in partnership with Spoleto Festival USA. The education components include an in-school performance\, a masterclass at the Charleston Jazz Academy\, and the public Rhythm and Flow panel discussion and performance. \nThis initiative is generously supported by the Donaldson Charitable Trust and Hilton C. Smith Jr.\, and in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the South Carolina Arts Commission. \n\n\n\n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”22344″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764788332532{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nGullah Collective\nGullah Collective is a musical project founded by CL Baxter\, a drummer\, percussionist\, and producer\, with a mission to preserve and promote the sounds of the Gullah Geechee culture. Drawing from the rich musical traditions of the Lowcountry\, Gullah Collective blends jazz\, roots\, R&B\, and gospel\, all while honoring the deep historical connections to West African rhythms and storytelling that define the Gullah Geechee people. \nCL Baxter envisioned the collective as a way to elevate the music and culture of the Gullah Geechee community\, which has often remained underrepresented on the global stage. While sounds like New Orleans Brass Band music and the rhythms of Go-Go have become widely recognized\, Baxter believes it is time for the world to experience the powerful and soulful sounds of the Lowcountry\, a place where West African traditions have melded with African American cultural expressions for centuries. \nThrough their music\, Gullah Collective celebrates the resilience\, creativity\, and rich heritage of the Gullah Geechee people. Their work serves as both a tribute to the past and a bold exploration of the future\, blending the cultural rhythms of the Sea Islands with modern sounds to create a music that resonates with audiences worldwide. \n  \nMusicians: \nCalvin Baxter II – Drums\nJavan Campbell – Hybrid Percussion\nDonald Graham – Gullah Drums\nDemetrius Doctor – Organ/Keyboard\nStephen Washington – Organ/Keyboard\nThomas Kenney – Guitar\nLaVonta Green – Bass\nGavin Smith – Trombone\nSteve Morley – Trumpet[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764647717693{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nHerlin Riley Quartet\nSince coming of age in the nurturing environment of a very musical family and a distinguished bloodline of drummers\, New Orleans native Herlin Riley emerged from that most creative era of all things rhythmic in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s\, to enliven the ensembles of such influential and demanding improvisers as pianist Ahmad Jamal and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis through his commanding yet elegant rhythmic presence. \nHis authoritative style of melodic percussion is deeply imbued in the fertile creative soil of the Crescent City\, encompassing as it does the entire length and breadth of America’s ongoing musical journey. \n  \nMusicians: \nHerlin Riley – Drums\nOscar Rossignoli – Piano\nMax Moran – Bass\nJulian Lee – Tenor & Soprano Saxophone[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”22452″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttV5522bW74″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”The Experience” tab_id=”1687923810144-42574a89-d6c9″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764011963081{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]We’re excited to welcome you to the 2026 Charleston Jazz Festival\, now expanded to an incredible 9 days of jazz events.
