Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with 19-Year Old Jazz Trumpeter & Big Band Leader Grace Fox .. She is releasing her debut CD – The 2022 album with her Big Band called Eleven O' Seven on Blue Collar Records .. She is from the New Jersey / Philadelphia area and studied with the likes of Joe Mosello to develop her chops as a trumpet player. She was inspired to create this all-women’s big band after recognizing that most of the jazz greats she was being taught in school were mostly men. She saw the importance of representing all genders in jazz, and especially the importance of giving women a space to play music and support each other. These days she is a student at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music and the world is indeed her oyster .. Enjoy the story ..
