Jazz Icons: Jon Faddis

Virtuosic jazz icon Jon Faddis stands among the rare artists whose brilliance radiates across every corner of the music world. An inspirational trumpeter, conductor, composer, and educator, he has shaped both jazz performance and music education with a depth of influence few can match. Following in the footsteps of his mentor Dizzy Gillespie, Faddis launched his career at just 17 with Lionel Hampton’s band, later rising to prominence as lead trumpet in the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and as a frequent collaborator with preeminent artists including Charles Mingus.
