Hi Friends, 10/4/18 I'm getting pretty excited about my upcoming trip to Taiwan with the SJZ Collective. It'll be my first time to play in Taiwan and is filling me with anticipation and wonder. We’re presenting our program, “Reimagining Monk” and playing at three cool venues.
But before then, I'm happy to be a part of my upcoming gig with the LMR All Star Big Band at the 5th Annual Timothy Hall Foundation Benefit Performance at Farmstead-Long Meadow Ranch in St Helena this Sunday, October 7th. I hope you can fall by to support this worthy cause with us. Please go to my calendar for more info…. Cheers everyone!!! John Worley |

"From the moment I laid eyes on the cover of the Readers Digest Treasury of Short Stories with Louis Armstrong on the cover, I was aware that trumpet playing was what I would do for the rest of my life. For a shy kid, the thought of going anywhere in the world and having people understand me through music was intoxicating. I’ve been playing ever since then."

"Finally the world gets a chance to experience the music of one Bay Area's best kept secrets... Whether playing lead, or soloing in the bop style or sharing his vast knowledge with his numerous students, John brings a fresh approach to it all. Worley's music is from the heart..."
