Born in Wilmington, NC, Lynn J. Grissett Jr. is a formally trained, dedicated musician whose first love is jazz but whose versatility spans all genres. A 2003 graduate of West Brunswick High School, he went on to earn his B.A. in Music Performance (Jazz Studies) from UNC Greensboro’s Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program and an M.M. in Music Performance (Jazz Studies) from North Carolina Central University, studying with Branford Marsalis, Robert Trowers, Dr. Ira Wiggins, Brian Horton, and Baron Tymas.
In addition to trumpet, Grissett is an accomplished saxophonist and has performed with an extraordinary roster of artists including Stevie Wonder, Nile Rodgers, Maceo Parker, Trombone Shorty, Marcus Anderson, the Marsalis family, Terri Lyne Carrington, and Max Weinberg. He is a longtime member of the New Power Generation Hornz, the horn section of Prince’s legendary band, appearing on Hit N Run Phase One & Two and touring internationally to festivals such as Montreux, North Sea, and Essence. His television appearances include Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Arsenio Hall Show.
From leading his own trio and quartet to performing with elite jazz ensembles, Grissett brings technical mastery, deep musicality, and an electrifying stage presence to every performance.
