Mark Rapp, a leader in the Midlands jazz community, says it best in the intro to this week’s session, reflecting on the legacy of Skipp Pearson, South Carolina’s Ambassador of Jazz and a longtime fixture at Hunter-Gatherer’s weekly jazz sessions.

Joined by Amos Hoffman, Ben Eidson, Sam Edwards, and Brendan Bull, Rapp performs “There Is No Greater Love” in Pearson’s honor. The song was one of Skipp’s favorites, making the session both a tribute to Pearson and a nod to the musical history that filled the former Hunter-Gatherer building.
