A fine hard bop trumpeter with a wide range, Michael Mossman has proven to be an asset to many swinging sessions.
Trumpeter, trombonist and composer Michael Philip Mossman has been active on the international scene since the age of 17. Mr. Mossman has performed and recorded with his own groups and with bands led by a virtual who's who of the music industry. He currently is lead trumpeter with Jazz at Lincoln Center's Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.
Michael's solo album, the Orisha Suite, was nominated for a Latin Grammy. Michael is also featured as lead trumpet and arranger on the Grammy nominated album, Un Noche Inolvidable by the Lincoln Center Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.

Michael has published music with the Hal Leonard Corp., Three-two Music, Really Good Music, and his own Ryamos Music Co.
Following stints as lead trumpet with the Machito Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, Michael became the musical director of Blue Note Record's "young lion" group, Out of the Blue.
