The Best Music Podcast #5 | Alex Parchment — Trumpet | #1 on Billboard Smooth Jazz Vibin' In Time
Alex's social media handle on all platforms: @mrparchment
Alex has had the opportunity to perform at the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Blues Alley with jazz luminaries Patti Austin, Christian McBride, David Sanborn, Chick Corea, and Marion Meadows. In 2015, he was selected for the world-renowned Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Program at the Kennedy Center. He now performs as a solo artist while also leading the Alex Parchment Quintet, a traditional jazz ensemble and AP.Chemistry, a musical experiment fusing soul, funk, hip hop, R&B and jazz to form a unique and energetic sound. In April 2020, Alex released his debut album entitled Burnin’ Up, which yielded two placements on the Smooth Jazz Billboard’s Top 30 Chart (“Vibin’ In Time” rising to #1, and “It’s Real” rising to #11).
His new single “When It’s Hot” is out now on all major streaming platforms.
