Joey Curreri is a jazz trumpeter and composer from Los Angeles, California currently based in New York City. Curreri’s unique artistic outlook stems from the foundations in the trumpet tradition learned from his mentors, jazz luminaries Brian Lynch and Ingrid Jensen, whose creative inspiration has led him to compose music that looks to go beyond the trumpet, generating excitement, harmony, and balance within the orchestration of the small ensemble.
As a working musician in New York, Curreri has performed at marquis venues and has shared the stage with artists like Vincent Herring, Mike LeDonne, Marcos Varela and Mike Clark. As a recording artist, he currently has four collections of original music released on Bandcamp. Curreri also received a Downbeat Student Award for Outstanding Improvised Solo for his performance on his second EP.
