Jayson Zorn Music

As a jazz guitarist, I am well-versed in a variety of styles. I can play solo jazz or with various groups including duos, trios, quartets, or quintets with vocalists, saxophones, trumpets, bass players, drummers, and pianists. The group I typically play with is different every time depending on who is available to play or what the venue specifically requests.

I started playing guitar at the age of 10, learning rock and blues by ear. Some of my past guitar instructors include Freddie Franken and Joshua Achiron. I am currently finishing my Bachelor of Arts degree from Olivet Nazarene University where I studied Jazz Studies and Guitar Performance. During my time at Olivet, I have played a number of professional gigs including background jazz for special events, restaurants, wine bars, coffee shops, and weddings. I have always played professionally for musical theater pit orchestras, churches, and other contemporary pop music venues. In addition, I have also been the bandleader for several groups and have performed shows at various locations in the Chicagoland area. After graduation, I will be attending the University of Louisville as a Graduate Assistant to pursue my Master of Music degree in Jazz Performance studying jazz guitar under renowned virtuoso, Craig Wagner.

I have no specific technical requirements. I typically bring all of my own gear.
