Jon Faddis: Jazz Musician in New York

About Jon Faddis

Jon Faddis is a jazz trumpeter, conductor, composer, and educator whose early reputation grew from a close study of Dizzy Gillespie’s language and sound. He trained under figures including Stan Kenton and Bill Catalano, then built a career that moves between bandleading, writing, and teaching. In New York City he appears at Dizzy’s Club with the Jon Faddis Quartet, bringing bebop rigor and big-band discipline into a small-group setting. His playing favors precision and bright attack over theatricality.
