about

Chicago-based trumpeter Zachary Finnegan unveils Guidance & Gratitude, his debut as leader, and the culmination of a nine year odyssey. Enriched by his upbringing and life's teachings, Guidance and Gratitude is a testament to resilience and growth. Produced by Greg Ward II, the music unfurls as a majestic symphony, blending swing, groove, and orchestral flourishes with a stellar group of musicians who transcend the compositions, including rising stars Lenard Simpson III and Matt Gold.
