Trumpeter Sean Jones leads NYO Jazz in a concert that explores the scope of jazz music, from big band and bebop to Latin and soul. The bright young musicians of NYO Jazz hail from across the United States and are “astonishing, not just technically but stylistically” (The Telegraph). Grammy Award–winner Kurt Elling joins the group as special guest artist, bringing his signature baritone voice and unparalleled scatting prowess to the evening.

 

 

NYO Jazz gives outstanding young jazz musicians from across the country the opportunity to perform as cultural ambassadors on an international stage, sharing a uniquely American musical genre with cultures around the world through an international tour.

 

In 2019, trumpeter Sean Jones returns as bandleader for performances in Asia alongside renowned jazz singer Kurt Elling.
