Continuing with our guitar focus and for the first show of 2023, it will  be guitarist, bassist, composer and director Joshua Bayer. We don't get  to see Josh too often because he's busy with his duties on the faculty  of American University, where he is Musician in Residence and director  of the AU Jazz Orchestra. So this will be a great opportunity to see  Josh along with his fantastic band featuring Lyle Link on sax, Todd  Simon on organ and JC Jefferson on drums. Josh has performed at venues such as The Kennedy Center, The Detroit  Opera House, Blues Alley, The Harlem Renaissance Festival, The World  Jazz Festival, The Phillips Collection, The Contemporary Theater  Festival, The One Step Down, New York Museum Of Modern Art, National  Public Radio, and Philadelphia's Chris's Jazz Café.

Besides  being featured on BET on Jazz and performing original new jazz with the  Joshua Bayer Quartet, Josh has played with jazz artists Neal Creque,  Dick Lurie, Gary Thomas, Ron Holloway, Marty Nau, The Federal Jazz  Commission, and Chris Vadala. Josh's recordings can be found on the  Jazzheads and Interlace Records labels. His compositions have been  published by C.F. Peters and LightHouse Music.

Josh's  credentials include a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of  Maryland, and a Master of Music in Composition from Cleveland State  University.
