Charlie Porter: Jazz Musician in New York

About Charlie Porter

Charlie Porter is a Portland-based trumpeter, composer, and educator whose work moves between bandleading and extensive sideman credits. He received a Grammy Award for his collaboration on the album *Songplay* in 2020, and has released two records under his own name. In New York City, he brings the Charlie Porter Quintet to Smalls Jazz Club, a room that rewards directness and close listening. His playing favors clean articulation and structural detail over spectacle.
