Jazz at Lincoln Center is proud to bring a rising star in the jazz world to Bryant Park: the 20-year-old trumpeter Summer Camargo, playing with her Sextet.
Camargo studies at the Juilliard School, where she majors in Jazz Studies and is a part of the Jerome Greene Fellowship. Born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, Camargo has been a member of the prestigious Grammy Band, Next Generation Women in Jazz Combo, Next Generation Jazz Orchestra, and was named a National YoungArts Foundation Merit winner, and Honorable Mention in Jazz Trumpet, as well as a Merit winner in Jazz Composition. Summer was Downbeat Magazine’s Outstanding Student Jazz Performance Award recipient. At the 2017, 2018, and 2019 Essentially Ellington Festivals, she received Outstanding Trumpet Soloist Awards, and in 2018, Summer won the Ella Fitzgerald Outstanding Soloist Award and the Dr. J. Douglas White Student Composition Contest. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra recorded Camargo's first, original big band chart, Leap Froggin’. and performed as a guest artist for Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 'Wynton at 60' program. She was also honored to have the Jazz at Lincoln Orchestra perform her composition, Alalazoo, at the 2022 Jazz at Lincoln Center Gala.
