KTQ was the realization of a dream over 20 years ago when Ken was a college student. Ken states, "Back then I was a kid learning how to play the trumpet and formally learning music, and of course trying to make a few dollars here and there. Jazz has changed a lot since then and my love for the artform has grown immensely." He has performed in front of thousands of enthusiastic listeners all over the country and overseas. He has also been a featured performer at many renowned jazz festivals to include the Atlanta Montreaux Jazz Festival, Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Clearwater Jazz Festival, and Savannah Jazz Festival. A highlight of Ken's career was when a performance was captured and shown on BET Jazz in October 2000. Ken, a native of Brunswick, Georgia is joined by extraordinary musicians. Craig Stevens, originally from Denver, Colorado, plays keys and adds a wash of musical colors and smooth sounds to the group. James Ryan, the newest member of the group and bassist, from Columbus, Ohio sets the mood with an unwaivering harmonic heartbeat. Last but certainly not least Jim Blanton, drummer, from Winston Salem, North Carolina who can play a contemporary funk beat on one tune and turn around and play a swing pattern Count Basie himself would be proud to play on. Coming from different parts of the country, The Ken Trimmins Jazz Quartet brings a mixture of experience, talent, professionalism, and unique playing abilities that combine to deliver an extraodinary punch of musical excitement and enjoyment.
