Details:
Winner of the 2006 International Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition, Jean Caze has emerged as one of todayâs most exciting new voices in jazz. Though only twenty-three, Jean has performed with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Najee, Arturo Sandoval , John Fadis, Randy Brecker, and Bob Mintzer, to name a few. Jean also played with the legendary rock group âChicagoâ live on NBC, and has opened for the Wynton Marsalis Quartet.

Jean began playing the trumpet at age nine and says, "It took three days to get any sound at all out of it". He went on to be awarded scholarship after scholarship to attend some of the country's top musical institutions, including the Julliard MAP (Music Advancement Program) and the Queens College CPSM (Center for Preparatory Studies in Music) program.

Jeanâs diverse musical abilities have won him numerous awards and recognition, including a free trumpet from VH1âs Save the Music program, and a chance to perform with the elite Grammy High School Jazz Band. One of Jean's many scholarships led him to the prestigious Manhattan School of Music where he earned his Bachelor of Music degree.
