Acclaimed jazz trumpeter Scotty Barnhart
brings his extraordinary talents to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s Bainbridge Campus on Friday as the final show of the Carter Arts & Lecture Series. The concert will be held at 7 p.m. at the Bainbridge Main Square.

Barnhart is in his 20th year with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra and has been appointed the group’s new director. Acknowledged as one of the leading
authorities on the history of the jazz trumpet, he researched and wrote the groundbreaking book “The World of Jazz Trumpet – A Comprehensive History and Practical Philosophy.”

When not touring with the Count Basie Orchestra or teaching at Florida State University, he performs with his own quintet-sextet and lectures and demonstrates at schools, colleges, universities, and conferences around the world, spreading jazz music to ensure its future for others to explore and enjoy.

The Carter Arts & Lecture Series, now in its eighth season, is committed to enhancing the
educational experience by bringing compelling speakers, distinguished authors, and performing arts to the ABAC Bainbridge campus. These events are designed to bring the campus and wider public together to educate, inspire, and spark imagination.

Tickets for the show are $10 for adults, $5 for youth and can be purchased at
