Young Musicians Showcase Presents – Wesley Bozman Trio

Wesley Bozman began playing piano at the age of three and trumpet at the age of nine. Classically trained, Wesley began performing jazz in middle school, capturing the top award as trumpet soloist in several local competitions and the Outstanding Musician Award at the first National Jazz Festival held in Philadelphia, February 2020. In high school, Wesley attended the Philadelphia International Music Festival, where he studied classical piano with Mark Livshits and Tatiana Abramova, and he performed in the festival orchestra on trumpet. At the Eastman School of Music Summer Jazz Studies program, Wesley studied jazz piano with Professor Dariusz Terefenko, and he later became the jazz pianist for the Philadelphia Youth Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Justin Faulkner, percussionist for the Branford Marsalis Quartet.

Wesley has been arranging and composing since the age of fourteen and appreciates the opportunities for self-expression and creation inherent in music. Wesley is a jazz piano performance major at the University of Southern California where he studies with Professor Josh Nelson. He was awarded the Emerging Artist Grant from the Jexa Awards, and was given a grant to perform his original compositions. Wesley can be found in the LA area playing his music at clubs such as Birds of a Feather.
