 ce Wein Mentor Series is an initiative that brings together established 
 artists and emerging voices to foster artistic growth\, experimentation\
 , and creative exchange. This presentation features saxophonist/mentor L
 ogan Richardson and pianist/mentee Esteban Castro\, along with Harish Ra
 ghavan – bass\, and Damion Reid – drums. About TJG Joyce Wein Mentoring 
 Series Mentorship has always been a key theme in jazz history. Most of t
 oday’s great jazz musicians were raised through informal channels and ga
 ined invaluable experience working alongside their heroes. Future genera
 tions of great jazz will depend on the continuation of this community-mi
 nded mentoring tradition that is\, unfortunately\, becoming less common 
 as jazz education has become more formalized in conservatory and univers
 ity settings. The Jazz Gallery developed its Mentorship Program to culti
 vate a group of senior-level jazz musicians as mentors and to provide as
 piring musicians with the opportunity to learn the music and business of
  jazz under the guidance of their contemporary heroes. These young music
 ians will have the opportunity to learn by preparing for and performing 
 in 4 concerts that are booked as a mini-tour\, which will provide mentee
 s with the opportunity to deepen their creative practice and performance
  skills. This will also teach mentees more practical skills of being wor
 king artists—skills set that are not taught in conservatory classrooms. 
 Logan Richardson is a Kansas City-born alto saxophonist\, composer\, and
  bandleader described by DownBeat as “one of the most gifted and transfo
 rmative alto saxophonists of his generation.” Continuing Kansas City’s d
 istinguished jazz tradition\, Richardson began performing professionally
  at 16\, working with Jay McShann and the Kansas City Symphony. Since mo
 ving to New York\, he has collaborated with artists including Jason Mora
 n\, Stanley Cowell\, Joe Chambers\, Stefon Harris\, Gerald Clayton\, Nas
 heet Waits\, and Pat Metheny. As a bandleader\, Richardson has developed
  a deeply personal sound that moves fluidly between jazz\, rock\, soul\,
  and experimental music. His recordings include the acclaimed Blue Note 
 album Shift\, blues PEOPLE\, Afrofuturism\, and a recent trilogy for WAX
  Industry: Holy Water\, Sacred Garden\, and The Science of Superstition.
  Esteban Castro is a Brooklyn-based pianist and composer whose deeply pe
 rsonal approach to improvisation emphasizes expression\, lyricism\, and 
 a wide range of musical influences. Born in Houston in 2002\, Castro beg
 an playing piano at four and became the youngest-ever winner of both the
  Montreux Jazz Piano Solo Competition and Jacksonville Jazz Piano Compet
 ition. They studied with Fred Hersch before attending The Juilliard Scho
