Jason Palmer, a trumpeter, composer, and educator, is becoming one of the most in-demand musicians of his generation. He has performed with Roy Haynes, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Ravi Coltrane, and Common, among many others.
Palmer was a recipient of the 2014 French American Cultural Exchange Jazz Fellowship and was named a 2011 Fellow in Music Composition by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. He finished first in the 2009 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition, and the June 2007 issue of Downbeat Magazine named him one of the top 25 trumpeters of the future.
In addition to performing on more than 40 albums as a sideman, Palmer has recorded eight albums. He has toured in more than 30 countries with saxophonists Greg Osby, Grace Kelly, and Matana Roberts, and has been a featured guest artist on many projects.
