“Jazz keeps slowly widening, and trumpeter Shane Endsley is working calmly and effectively at the perimeter,” stated The New York Times. And JazzTimes claims, “Endsley has mastered the trick of keeping the listener guessing.”

Endsley revisits and revamps songs by folk rock legends like Neil Young, Nick Drake, and Simon and Garfunkel with his own brand of down home modern instrumental music.

Endsley has just returned to his hometown of Denver after years in New York building his reputation as one of the most unique voices on the trumpet today.

DownBeat Magazine named him as one of the “Top 25″ trumpeters of his generation and he was cited as a Rising Star in the 2013 Critics Poll. In 2013, JazzTimes readers voted him the “Best Trumpet Player under 40.”

Endsley is a founding member of the Grammy nominated group Kneebody, currently recording for Concord Records and Brainfeeder.

A truly modern and dynamic musician, Endsley can be found on recordings and appearances with artists ranging from Jazz innovators like Steve Coleman, Dave Binney, and Donny McCaslin, to folk and rock icons like Ani DiFranco, Pearl Jam, and Erin McKeown.

In 2011, Endsley released his second recording as a leader, debuting on Low Electrical Records (owned and operated by Kneebody) with Then The Other by Shane Endsley and The Music Band. This album was named one of the 10 Best Jazz Albums of 2010 by The Los Angeles Times.

Additional recent projects include working with Chris Speed, Charlie Hunter and Ben Allison, Allison Miller, and Mike Formanek. Endsley has also toured, performed, or recorded with Ravi Coltrane, John Hollenbeck, Tim Berne, and Jason Mraz.
