Eric Jacobson

Eric Jacobson is a rising, nationally recognized jazz trumpeter renowned for his musical taste, lyrical honesty, and teaching commitment. Described as a “toucher” rather than a “pusher” of technique, his playing blends a strong command of fundamentals with a natural musicality. Eric Jacobson’s quintet, Records Heading Home, and Discover has broken into the Top 50 on the global jazz charts.“Jacobson is part of a generation of musicians who refuse to see tradition and modernity as opposites. For Jacobson, they are parts of the same fabric, threads to be woven, unraveled, and re-woven again. He is very likely one of the finest trumpeters of his generation.” — Thierry De ClemensEric commits to jazz education with a broad range of roles:Subbed as Adjunct professor: Jazz trumpet, jazz theory, and jazz combo (DePaul University)Teacher: Milwaukee Jazz InstituteTraveling music teacher for Milwaukee Public SchoolsActive presenter of jazz workshops at colleges and high schools nationwideRecipient, Milwaukee Civic Music’s 2022 Certificate of Excellence in Studio Music Instruction, home studio has been active since 2000www.Ericjacobsontrumpet.com
