Ingrid Jensen has been hailed as one of the most gifted trumpeters of her generation. As a sought-out teacher, collaborator and soloist, it is easy to see why The New York Times calls her “as versatile as she is vigorous.” After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1989, Jensen was offered a position at the prestigious Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, Austria. In the 1990s, she recorded three highly acclaimed CDs for the ENJA record label, becoming one of the most in-demand trumpet players on the global-jazz scene. Settling in New York City, she joined the innovative jazz orchestras of Maria Schneider (1994 to 2012) and Darcy James Argue (2002 to present). She has performed with a multigenerational cast of jazz legends, ranging from Clark Terry to Esperanza Spalding. Jensen has also performed alongside British R&B artist Corrine Bailey Rae on Saturday Night Live and recorded with Canadian-pop icon Sarah McLachlan. Jensen is prominently featured on the Grammy Award-winning Mosaic Project, led by drummer Terri-Lyne Carrington.
