Ingrid Jensen is a visionary artist who has redefined the role of the trumpet in contemporary jazz. Known for a sound that is as "vocal" as it is instrumental, Jensen has a warm, lyrical, and deeply human quality to her playing. Whether she is delivering muscular hard-bop runs, effortlessly playing in the stratosphere, or painting atmospheric soundscapes with digital delays and masterful mute work, her performances are an exciting masterclass in boundless possibility.Jensen is an award-winning artist, with a Juno Award and a "Trumpeter of the Year" recognition from the Jazz Journalists Association. She’s collaborated with jazz legends like Clark Terry and Maria Schneider and modern icons like Esperanza Spalding and Sarah McLachlan. As a member of the acclaimed Blue Note supergroup Artemis, she continues to push jazz into fresh spaces of expression.On stage, Jensen is a captivating presence — statuesque and confident, guiding her ensemble through complex terrains with a simple nod or gesture. Her music weaves together traditional jazz, classical harmony, and world influences. This special appearance finds Jensen just coming off the recording of her spectacular new release, Landings, which affirms her place among today’s most vital trumpet voices. This is a quartet that can go from 0 to 60 at the drop of a hat, delivering music that is at once composed and free, intricate yet never rigid, swinging as hell and always searching.This performance is made possible through a grant from Chamber Music America.
