Anthony Hervey

American trumpeter Anthony Hervey, recently named by Grammy.com as one of the "10 Emerging Artists to Know in 2023," has captivated audiences worldwide both as a sought-after sideman and a visionary bandleader. At the age of 18 he was admitted to the Juilliard School, graduating with his B.M. in 2019 and his M.M. in 2020. Frequently called upon to substitute for trumpet legend Wynton Marsalis, who has mentored him and describes Hervey as "a beautiful trumpet player of the first magnitude," Hervey has also toured, performed, and recorded with luminaries such as Christian McBride, Jon Batiste, and Michael Bublé. Renowned for his virtuosic trumpet playing and musicality, Hervey has emerged as a leading voice in Jazz. As the leader of the Anthony Hervey Quintet, he is celebrated for his original compositions that blend the complexities of Jazz with a wide range of influences, from Ragtime to R&B. His debut album, Words From My Horn, showcases his talents as both a trumpeter and composer, offering a rich fusion of soulful and cerebral pieces that uplift and inspire with its soulful warmth and optimism, all rooted in the blues.
