John Raymond is one of the most promising, genre-bending musicians in jazz today. With a singular voice as a trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer, Raymond is “steering jazz in the right direction” (Downbeat Magazine) by pushing its boundaries, seamlessly incorporating indie-rock, folk and electronic influences into his music. As Something Else stated, “This is jazz, yes, but jazz with an open mind’.
John has released nine albums under his own name, each having been received to critical acclaim from the New York Times, Stereogum, Downbeat Magazine, and more. His latest, “Shadowlands,” is a collaboration with singer/songwriter S. Carey (of Bon Iver) that combines indie folk/rock influences.with jazz and improvisation sensibilities. John has been a sideman or featured artist on over thirty other recordings, including four GRAMMY nominated albums. He has performed with jazz luminaries such as Billy Hart, Orrin Evans, and Gilad Hekselman, and has recorded with other artists including Sara Bareilles, Darnell Davis, and Sandra McCracken.
