As the grandson of the legendary trumpeter Doc Cheatham, Theo Croker was infected by the jazz virus at an early stage in life. In the meantime, Croker, who was born in 1985, and won the Marcus Belgrave Trumpet competition in 2013, is one of the leading trumpet players of his generation – and like his grandfather, he shines with gripping vocal-intermezzos. Croker doesn't just reflect the jazz tradition, but takes it to new shores, by incorporating contemporary dancefloor elements in his multifaceted and hypnotic music.
