Considered one of the greatest trumpet players in his instruments’ history, Jens Lindemann is the first classical brass soloist to ever receive the Order of Canada. He has played both jazz and classical in every major concert venue in the world: from the Philharmonics of New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Moscow and Tokyo to Carnegie Hall. Jens has also won major awards ranging from Grammy and Juno nominations to winning the prestigious Echo Klassik in Germany as well as receiving several honorary doctorates. With his exceptional musicianship and sensitivity, Jens explores the full emotional range of the trumpet, from haunting lyirical melodies to the blistering bravado of Maynard Ferguson, all delivered with the showmanship of his childhood hero Doc Severinsen.
