This album features an all-star cast of musicians\, most of whom he befriended during his studies at The Juilliard School in New York City—Chris Lewis (tenor saxophone)\, Tony Glausi (trumpet)\, Felix Moseholm (bass)\, and Domo Branch (drums). The Southern Suite is lauded for its deep roots in jazz tradition while embracing a contemporary sensibility\, captivating a broad audience.

Mason’s ability to blend traditional jazz with modern elements sets him apart as a unique voice in the jazz world\, cementing him as one of the most in-demand pianists\, composers\, and music directors worldwide. \nOne of Mason’s most notable recent projects\, “Chrome Valley\,” is a magical collaboration with world-renowned poet\, author\, and Lincoln Center’s inaugural poet-in-residence\, Mahogany L. Browne. This album showcases Sean as both a composer and record producer\, and has garnered critical acclaim from NPR\, ABC\, and many other media outlets. \nIn addition to his performing and recording achievements\, Mason is a dedicated educator and mentor. He conducts workshops and masterclasses around the globe\, sharing his extensive knowledge and passion for jazz with aspiring musicians. His down-to-earth and practical style of teaching has led to a strong following from high school\, college\, and adult students alike. Sean’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of artists is evident in his unwavering belief that it is necessary to develop a keen respect for the roots of jazz while maintaining an open\, yet discerning ear about contemporary music. \nAs a touring artist\, Sean leads the Sean Mason Quartet\, an ensemble celebrated for its dynamic performances and innovative arrangements\, which seamlessly blend the rich traditions of jazz with modern influences. Each member of the quartet brings exceptional talent and a unique musical voice\, contributing to the group’s cohesive yet adventurous sound.
