Jason Palmer

One of his generation’s most celebrated players and composers, trumpeter Jason Palmer is bringing a band of top US players to perform music from his 2023 live album The Cross Over: Live in Brooklyn. As featured on the album, the quartet features tenor saxophonist Mark Turner. Palmer has been working with Turner for the past decade and calls him, 'one (if not the) single most imitated, never duplicated tenor saxophonists in this music.’ In addition to performing on over forty albums as a sideman, Jason has recorded thirteen albums under his own name. He has performed with the likes of Roy Haynes, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Ravi Coltrane, Jeff Ballard, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, Common, Roy Hargrove, Lewis Nash, among many others. Jason has made Boston his home, and for the past fifteen years, his quintet has been the house band at the historic Wally's Jazz Café. Jason won 1st Place in the 2009 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition and was cited in the June 2007 issue of Downbeat Magazine as one of the "Top 25 trumpeters of the Future".
