Description

Hometown favorite, Milkshake Mayfield return to the Ritz! 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’s performed with a ‘who’s who’ among contemporary jazz giants - Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, mentor Clark Terry, Wynton Marsalis, Cab Calloway, Freddie Hubbard, and many others. His astounding jazz portfolio includes performances/opening acts with the SOS band, Bobby Byrd & the JB’s, Michael Franks, Alex Bugnon, Kevin Eubanks, and Maysa, formerly of Incognito. As anyone can tell, Milkshake and the Milkshake Quintet can be found most anywhere in the World where smooth jazz is heard on local, national and international stages. When not performing, Milkshake can be found mentoring youth and young musicians.  THE MAIN STREET PROGRAM  began in 1990 to facilitate the revitalization of downtown Toccoa.
