Neil Pierce - Trumpet

 I have been blessed with music my entire life having grown up in a large family all of whom played at least 1 instrument, and have four children who all play at least 1 instrument and sing. I enjoy listening to all genres, but am particularly fond of jazz, big band, and jam band as well as rock, fusion, and blue-grass. Somne of my favorite musicians are Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Paul Desmond, Sonny Rollins, Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheney, and Jerry Garcia. I first joined the band in 2010. In addition to SJB I currently play trumpet for and contribute createlvely to Some Ska Band, and The Jack Moore Band. I enjoyed playing 6 seasons for The Pittsford Fire Department Band and recently played with an exciting group called Weirwood. Always looking for a fun session, I have played jobs for, or sat in with, Prime Time Brass, Fishbone Soup, the former Dick Otto and The Music Makers Big Band, and Vintage Pretty. I have also played in the pit for Jesus Christ Superstar and Assasins, and played in the Rochester Brass Quintet. 

I hold a BA in Mathematics/Minor in Computer Science from the University of Rochester and currently am an Information Analyst for the University. A practicing Stocic, I gratefuly live each day to its fullest enjoying playing, learning, and spending time with my fiance' Meg and our combined 6 children.
