Bio
A little more about Joseph Perez, leader/composer/arranger
Hailing from California, Joseph moved to New York City in 1996 to pursue his music studies as a scholarship student at the acclaimed New School University jazz program. During his time there he had the opportunity to study saxophone with Jesse Davis and David Glasser as well as pursuing private studies with Junior Mance, Charles Tolliver, and Jimmy Owens.
Today, Joseph is very active on the New York City music scene as both a performer and composer. As an instrumentalist he has had the good fortune to work with many top names in jazz including: Junior Mance, Benny Powell, George Coleman, Vanessa Ruben, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Cab Calloway Orchestra, Bobby Sanabria’s Afro-Cuban Dream Band, James “Jabbo” Ware, Charlie Persip and Supersound, the Harlem Renaissance Orchestra, trumpeter Eddie Allen’s big band, and Jazz Messenger Valery Ponomarev’s Jazz Orchestra. His non-jazz work includes the O’Jays, the Platters, and R&B superstar Beyonce, and many latin/salsa ensembles in NYC. In addition, Mr. Perez leads his own sextet which features his original compositions as well as a trio and quartet which perform the classic repertoire.
