Willie Waldman Project feat. Jake Cinninger from Umphreys McGee

The Willie Waldman Project brings a high-level blend of funk, jazz, and rock driven by some of the most respected players in modern music.

Led by trumpeter Willie Waldman, a longtime collaborator of artists like Snoop Dogg and Tupac, this project is built around groove, improvisation, and fearless musicianship.

Joining him is Jake Cinninger of Umphrey’s McGee, known for his explosive guitar work and genre-bending style that moves effortlessly between rock, prog, and deep improvisation.

On drums, Terry Saffold delivers a deep-pocket groove and dynamic feel, anchoring the band with power, precision, and serious musical intuition.

Rounding out the lineup is Colin Scott, a versatile and dynamic player whose feel and musicality help glue the entire performance together, adding depth, groove, and texture to an already elite group.
