Ted Chubb

Born: November 17, 1980

For more than two decades, trumpeter and composer Ted Chubb has built a life in jazz as a bandleader, educator, community builder, and artistic director in Jersey City. He leads his own ensembles, teaches jazz trumpet at Princeton University, and co-owns and helms The Statuary in his chosen hometown.

“Ted Chubb is a very talented trumpeter, composer, improviser, bandleader and educator,” says bassist, composer, and 11-time Grammy Award winner Christian McBride. “Ted is the total package, and most of all, he is just one great guy.”

Chubb’s playing is grounded in melody, bebop, and blues phrasing. He draws from the trumpet lineage of Miles Davis, Booker Little, Lee Morgan, Dizzy Gillespie, Blue Mitchell, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Dorham, and Art Farmer, alongside modern voices such as Tom Harrell and Nicholas Payton. He has also cited vocalists including Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan as formative influences. 

Adrian Varady

Born: December 8, 2001

Born on December 8, 2001, into a Hungarian Roma family in Rimavská Sobota, Slovakia, Adrian Varady has emerged as a powerful and distinctive voice in contemporary jazz. Raised in a deeply musical environment, his artistic journey began at the age of eight when his father gifted him a keyboard. While this marked his first step into music, it was the drums that soon became his true voice.

Largely self-taught and driven by curiosity and instinct, Adrian developed his craft on a small blue sparkle drum kit, immersing himself in listening, imitation, and experimentation from an early age. His exceptional musical awareness quickly became evident, and at just nine years old, he won his first concert performance at a jazz festival in Frankfurt — an early sign of the remarkable path ahead.
