THE CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCE
Bringing new meaning to the term “jazzy fizzle,” the eccentric Vikram Devasthali showcases original music, combining elements of jazz and pop to create inventive twists to today’s hits and yesterday’s favorites. A talented trombonist and composer, Vikram’s music explores a deep spectrum of emotions, ranging from moody to euphoric.

The band features Vikram Devasthali (trombone), Brady Cohen (guitar), Robby Marshall (saxophone) and Danny McKay (bass). The four met at USC, where they were enrolled in the prestigious Thornton Jazz Studies program, playing with jazz greats such as Wayne Shorter, Dave Brubeck and Bobby McFerrin. Vikram, Danny and Robby also recently recorded with legendary pop artist Steve Miller on his upcoming album as part of the USC Thornton Jazz Orchestra.
Admission is free. Guests must be 21 or older to enter wine lounge.
