Duke Jazz Ensemble with guest artist Ingrid Jensen, trumpet

"A trumpeter who's as versatile as she is vigorous" - The New York Times.

After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1989, Ingrid Jensen recorded three highly acclaimed CDs for the ENJA record label, soon becoming one of the most in-demand trumpet players on the global jazz scene. She settled in New York City in the mid-1990s where she joined the innovative jazz orchestras of Maria Schneider (1994-2012) and Darcy James Argue (2002-present). More recently, Ingrid has performed with the Grammy-winning Terri-Lyne Carrington and her Mosaic Project, Helen Sung's "Sung with Words" project and the highly acclaimed all-star ensemble, Artemis. She has performed with a multi-generational cast of jazz legends ranging from Clark Terry to Esperanza Spalding; Ingrid has also performed alongside British R&B artist Corrine Bailey Rae on Saturday Night Live, and recorded with Canadian pop icon Sarah McLachlan. In addition to her busy sideman and featured soloist schedule, Jensen leads her own quintet, quartet and organ trio. She is currently on faculty at both Purchase College, and is serving as Interim Associate Dean and Director of Jazz Arts at Manhattan School of Music.

John V. Brown directs the Duke Jazz Ensembles. Evan Roberson is associate director.
