Eric Jacobson - trumpet

Alton Merrell - piano

Paul Thompson - bass

Tom Wendt - drums

Eric is the real deal! A truly world class jazz trumpeter...strong, assured technique, a hip dark sound on the trumpet, and expressive without gimmicks.
TWO TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNER 

BRIAN LYNCH


JACOBSON HAS A BEAUTIFUL TONE THAT SHADES WITH LUSH VIBRATO. HIS LINES, ALWAYS MELODIC, HINT AT SOMETHING NEW AND SURPRISING AROUND THE CORNER. THAT MAKES FOR HIGHLY COMMUNICATIVE PLAYING AND FOR US, INVOLVED LISTENING. LIKE PLAYERS SUCH AS ROY HARGROVE AND TOM HARRELL, JACOBSON IS A "TOUCHER" AND NOT "PUSHER" OF UNNECESSARY TECHNIQUE OR PRE-PLANNED PATTERNS. BY
