Rich Willey

I’m a professional freelance musician specializing in tasteful and melodic jazz improvisation. I play trumpet, bass trumpet, valve trombone, tuba, and EVI (electronic valve instrument with an unlimited number of sounds). I’ve worked in countless settings as a featured artist and/or a band member, but I’m also an experienced band leader who loves to put together custom bands of top quality musicians for various events. I’ve played hundreds of weddings and banquets and I’m well-versed in myriad genres, especially jazz, Latin, swing, and contemporary dance music. I’ve toured with Maynard Ferguson's Big Bop Nouveau and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, among many, many others.
