ABOUT FREDDIE HENDRIX

Over the past two decades, Freddie Hendrix has become one of the most in-demand trumpeters in jazz, and beyond. An accomplished composer, arranger and educator, Hendrix’s skill and versatility have led him to work with a wide array of artists and bands, from the Count Basie Orchestra and the CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE Big Band to Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys. Whether leading his own groups or lending his talents as a lead or section player in larger ensembles, Freddie Hendrix continues flourishing as one of the most exciting trumpet voices on the music scene, forging his own sure-footed, full-toned sound, out of the tradition of Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Lee Morgan, and Clifford Brown.
