Milkshake Mayfield - An Evening of Jazz

It is no wonder that the late legendary radio host, “Tippy” Calloway, befittingly announced Milkshake as trumpeter extraordinaire.  His music presentation mirrors the legacy of jazz greats.  He has circled the world, gracing national and international stages with some of the greatest ‘who’s who’ among contemporary jazz giants - Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, mentor Clark Terry, Wynton Marsalis, Cab Calloway, Freddie Hubbard, and many others. 

In 1980, Milkshake formed the Milkshake Quintet (MSQ), known for its distinctively smooth and silky contemporary and straight ahead jazz, with a taste of bebop and funk and featuring the soulfully soothing vocals of his lovely and talented wife, Christine (Tine), MSQ’s featured vocalist

As anyone can tell, Milkshake can be found mostly anywhere in the World where smooth jazz is heard on local, national and international stages across the oceans and seas. 

Milkshake holds a BA degree in Music from Clark College (now Clark-Atlanta University), where he was lead trumpeter in Clark’s jazz orchestra, Morehouse College Big Band, and the Atlanta Band.
