Saxophonist/composer Jacob Chung’s dynamic, blues-driven commitment to swing has charmed audiences in his hometown Toronto and in New York City, where he is currently based. He relocated to NYC seeking the mentorship of the great Vincent Herring, whose advocacy for Jacob’s talent led to the recording of Jacob’s sophomore album in December 2023 for the Cellar Music Group label, featuring both Herring and drummer Joe Farnsworth. In July 2023, Jacob performed twice at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington D.C., and at the Burlington Jazz Festival (VT) as a member of the prestigious Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program.

Since moving to NYC, Jacob has performed with the likes of Joe Farnsworth, Peter Washington, the Mingus Big Band, and the Erena Terakubo Septet at venues such as Dizzy's Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Django, Winnie's Jazz Bar, Midnight Theatre, Fiction Jazz Cafe, and Silvana. The Jacob Chung Quintet’s 2022 debut album 'Epistle' was received with critical acclaim for its embodiment of the spirit of jazz, with Chris Spector of the Midwest Record writing, “A bunch of swingers that know the history without the baggage, they zip the ears open with a delightful sound that uplifts while it makes you smile."
