"Of all the young cats on the trumpet today, Jason Palmer is certainly one of the most talented of the bunch. The thing I really dig about him is that not only has he dealt with the tradition, but that he's not afraid to take chances." -Nicholas Payton, Grammy-award-winning trumpeter, as well as Jason's favorite trumpeter.

"Jason Palmer will be a force to be reckoned with!"-Randy Brecker, jazz trumpeter.

Jason Palmer has been playing the trumpet for the past thirteen years. While attending the Greensboro Music Academy in North Carolina, he was awarded the “best jazz soloist” prize at the North Carolina Central University Jazz Festival in 1996 and 1997. He later went on to study at the New England Conservatory of Music, where he was able to study with artists such as Danilo Perez, George Russell, Jerry Bergonzi, John McNeil, Bob Brookmeyer, and Cecil McBee.
Jason was a resident at the 200 Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz at Aspen Snowmass in Aspen, CO, the 2003 Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program, as well as the 2003 Steans Institute for Young Artists at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago. While attending these programs, he was able to study and perform with jazz legends such as Herbie Hancock, Joshua Redman, Brian Blade, Christian McBride, Jimmy Smith, James Moody, Rufus Reid, Winard Harper, and Fred Wesley. During his time in Boston, Jason has been fortunate to share the stage with Roy Haynes, Wynton Marsalis, Benny Golson, Lewis Nash, Billy Pierce, Roy Hargrove, and Tim Warfield. He has performed at venues such as Sculler’s Jazz Club, the Regattabar, Ryle’s Jazz Club, Tremont Theatre, Les Zygomates, and the good Life. Along with weekly engagements at the historical Wally’s Café, Palmer has performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, Tanglewood Jazz Festival, the Mablehead Jazz Festival, the Highland Jazz Festival, as well as festivals in Paris and Coulmmiers, France.
Most recently, Mr. Palmer has become the newest member of Blue Note recording artist Greg Osby and his group The Greg Osby Five. With this group, Jason has perfomed at festivals in the Spanish cities of Avila, Sevilla, Lugo, Cordoba, Badajoz, Zaragoza, and Jaen, as well as two cities in Porugal; Porto and Lisbon. Jason was also a finalist in the 2003 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Solo Trumpet Competition held in Orlando, Fl. His quintet also performed live on WGBH’s “Eric in the Evening”.
