Etienne Charles Perhaps more than any other musician of his generation or Eastern Caribbean origin, Trinidadian born Etienne Charles fully grasps the New Orleans trumpet tradition. His album Creole Soul reached #1 for three weeks on the Jazzweek chart and was eventually named #3 Jazz Album of the year by Jazzweek.

As a sideman he has performed with Roberta Flack, Marcus Roberts, Marcus Miller, Count Basie Orchestra, Frank Foster’s Loud Minority Big Band, Monty Alexander and many others.

He has been commissioned as a composer and arranger by the Savannah Music Festival (2018), Chamber Music America (2015), the Charleston Jazz Orchestra (2012) and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble (2011). As an educator and conductor, he has done residencies at the Juilliard School (NY), Stanford University (CA), Columbia College Chicago (IL), Oakland University (MI), Walnut Hills High School (OH), Cultural Academy for Excellence (DC) and the US Military Academy (NY). Charles is a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow in the Creative Arts, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Millennial Swing award and was a featured panelist and performer at the White House for Caribbean Heritage Month.
