Trombonist, composer, and B.A.C. Endorsing Artist Jon Hatamiya is one of the most promising trombonists to come out of the Sacramento area and is rapidly making a name for himself on both the New York and California music scenes. He was recognized in the August 1st, 2011 edition of Jet Magazine as the only trombonist on Wynton Marsalis’s list of “Who’s Got Next”, which highlighted the next generation of emerging jazz artists. Jon also received a 2015 Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award from ASCAP for his merits as a composer and arranger.
Still early in his career, Jon has already performed with a variety of artists reflecting his wide musical interests, including Dianne Reeves, James Moody, Taylor Eigsti, Stefon Harris, Dave Matthews Band, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, among others, and at venues such as Yoshi’s San Francisco and Oakland, the Jazz Standard in New York, the Blue Whale in Los, Angeles, the Monterey and Montreal Jazz Festivals, Rose Hall and Dizzy's Club Coca Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the Staples Center.
