About Byron Stripling
Byron Stripling began his relationship with the trumpet at the age of 10. His father was the choir director at a church, so he fell naturally into singing, as well. Stripling enrolled at the Eastman School of Music with plans to become classical trumpeter, but was offered a job with Lionel Hampton before he could complete his degree. He left Eastman to join Hampton’s band, and the opportunities that followed shaped his career for life. Stripling played a string of influential gigs, including a stint with the Woody Herman Orchestra, touring with the Count Basie Orchestra and eventually acting as the lead in the musical Satchmo: America’s Musical Legend.
In 2002, Stripling became the artistic director and conductor of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. He has presented such guest artists as Branford Marsalis, Chuck Mangione, Patti Austin, John Pizzarelli, Mavis Staples, Melba Moore and Wycliffe Gordon, but remains the orchestra’s biggest draw. Stripling also makes many guest appearances with pop orchestras, conducts clinics and seminars and tours extensively with his own quartet. His performances are full of remarkable musicianship, wit, showmanship and a joyous spirit.
