JASON PALMER QUARTET

Trumpeter Jason Palmer has emerged as one of the most impressive and fiery soloists and distinctive composers of his generation. His superb musicianship and originality has closely aligned him with such musical innovators as the great tenor saxophonist Mark Turner. His band is a tightly woven quartet of stellar musicians featuring Mark Turner on tenor saxophone, Larry Grenadier on bass and Marcus Gilmore on drums. Jason Palmer has performed with Roy Haynes, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Smith (the organist), Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ravi Coltrane, Jeff Ballard, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, Common, Roy Hargrove, Lewis Nash. 

 

With The Cross Over: Live in Brooklyn (release date: December 6 2024), trumpeter Jason Palmer continues his compelling output for Giant Step Arts, on a double album with over two hours of live music featuring a first-call band. Nine originals with tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Marcus Gilmore demonstrate why Palmer is one of his generation’s most celebrated players and composers.

 

“Jason Palmer’s ability to express in his own personal voice an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the jazz trumpet vocabulary, without being possessed by it, is truly rare.” Russ Musto
