About
Born on a warm Tuesday morning in Canada, only
to be whisked away to Argentina at the tender age
of 1, Michael Sarian is a trumpeter and composer
whose work has been described as “a steady study
in dichotomy. With a wordless elegance, the New
York City-based musician is flexibly firm, loosely
tight, and brightly dark. The innovations within his
compositions are deceptively dramatic with varying
degrees of a melodic sensibility.” (Frank De Blase,
Rochester City Newspaper)
Michael relocated to New York City in 2012 to
pursue a master’s degree in Jazz Studies at New
York University, where he studied with great
musicians such as Laurie Frink, Alan Ferber, Brad
Shepik, Ralph Alessi and Mike Rodriguez. Michael
has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, BRIC
JazzFest, Getxo Blues Festival, Blue Note Jazz Club,
Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Beacon Theater, Central
Park SummerStage, Teatro Colón, and has appeared
on WNYC’s Soundcheck with John Schaefer, NPR’s
World Cafe, and many more.
In August of 2018, Michael released LEÓN, the
third album with his septet, Michael Sarian & The
Chabones (Argentine slang for the dudes), his debut
with ZOHO Music. He also leads Michael Sarian &
The Big Chabones, a 16 piece big band alternative.
