Trumpeter Darren English to Release New CD at February Jazz at All Saints’

South African trumpet virtuoso Darren English will be the featured artist for the February 13th Jazz at All Saints’ concert, marking the first performance in the U.S. of his new album, “He Said/She Said.” Fresh from a three-month international tour, English has selected Jazz at All Saints’ as the first stop in his 2026 touring schedule and the place to introduce his new compositions to America. 

According to Morehouse College music professor and acclaimed trumpeter Melvin Jones, who tours with such luminaries as Doja Cat, Stevie Wonder, Patti LaBelle, and Usher, English’s All Saints’ audience will be captivated by “He Said/She Said.” "This is not just another CD, or album, or an LP—it is, in fact, a work of art.”

Hailed by Jazz Times as a “force and voice to be heard and understood,” English honed his bebop skills at Georgia State University, where he was selected as one of its “40-Under-40 Influential and Innovative” honorees. He has earned two Global Peace Song Awards (2018 and 2020) and has been named to lists of the year’s best by both JAZZIZ Magazine and The Huffington Post.

Beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary, the concert follows with Q&A by Jazz at All Saints’ Artistic Director Virginia Schenck and a reception in the Parish House.
