“Electrifyingly new and strangely familiar at the same time…with his mix of modern sounds and old-fashioned feeling, Raymond is steering jazz in the right direction.” (DownBeat Magazine)
As a trumpeter, educator, and composer, Raymond brings a modern take to the classics we all have come to love. He was worked with musicians such as Billy Hart, Orrin Evans, Linda Oh, Gilad Hekselman and Dan Tepfer, and his latest album – “Foreign Territory” – has received critical acclaim. Currently residing in New York City, Raymond teaches at the United Nations International School.
John Raymond & Real Feels will be performing at the main stage at 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 2nd.
