About Jauron Perry
Perry’s official biography identifies him as a Detroit-native trumpeter, composer, and bandleader. It traces his training through Detroit School of Arts and Michigan State University’s jazz-studies program, alongside youth mentorship and work with musicians from Detroit’s jazz community.[1]
