Musician

Throughout a career that spans nearly five decades, trumpeter Phil Grenadier has emerged as one of jazz’s most imaginative and innovative players. His four albums as leader, 2000’s Sweet Transients, 2003’s Playful Intentions, 2014's Shimmer and 2022's Regeneration have won him copious international acclaim, while his collaborations with a broad array of notable musicians demonstrate the raw talent and adventurousness that led the San Jose Mercury News to call him “a trumpeter of rare fluency and depth.”

The restless creative spirit that distinguishes Phil Grenadier’s work was instilled early in life. Growing up in a musical family in San Francisco, he and his brothers Larry and Steve were all introduced to trumpet in childhood by their father Albert, who handed his lifelong love of music down to his sons.
