Craig Fraedrich Quintet

Craig Fraedrich, Trumpet Born in Milwaukee in 1960, Craig's first recollection of interest in the trumpet came when he was six years old and saw Al Hirt on television with Pete Fountain. He started playing in the fifth grade in Frankfort, Illinois, but his first private lesson did not come until high school after the family moved back to Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. It was during this time that his interest in jazz flourished when for four consecutive years his high school band was chosen to perform with the Woody Herman Band as part of the annual Sister Fabian Scholarship Fund Benefit Concert. Craig received his undergraduate degree in Jazz Performance from North Texas State University and Masters Degree from Arizona State University. He has also studied at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Banff Center for the Arts.
