"Ted Chubb is a very talented trumpeter, composer, improviser, bandleader and educator. Ted is the total package, and most of all, he is just one great guy." - Christian McBride

Artist

Gratified Never Satisfied, Chubb’s new release, is undeniably the most fully realized recording of his career. It establishes him as a singular creative force in contemporary jazz, an artist steeped in the music’s legacy who is pointing squarely toward its future.

Educator

“My approach to education is through language both as a trumpet player and improviser. I believe that the trumpet should be played in a natural way, more akin to a vocalist. I believe that jazz is a language and should be taught more similarly to an actual spoken language. There is improvised vocabulary and repertoire that you must know to be able to communicate with other musicians in a logical and meaningful way.”
