Originally trained in classical piano, he picked up the trumpet in junior high and since then, has been on a musical journey to improve and develop as a musician. Heavily influenced by the likes of Lee Morgan, Chet Baker, and Freddie Hubbard, he is able to blend into almost any genre thrown at him, whether it is Jazz, Pop, or R&B. Mainly inspired by the Blue Note sound, JP will showcase original music from his EP “The Interloper” that is scheduled to release later this year. As a recent graduate from MacEwan University under the guidance of Jared Greeve, JP brings a dynamic, virtuosic, and energetic presence to the stage.
Our live Tuesday Jam is hosted by a musician and a band while audience members join in on the fun by jamming along on stage.
Musicians who want to participate in the Jam can purchase a “Jam Participant” ticket at a reduced cost.
All Jam Participants need to register at the door upon entry to the event.
