Trumpet Player Wayne Tucker Releases 'When I Was A Child'
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Trumpet player Wayne Tucker will release his debut album When I Was A Child on OneTrickDog* Records June 14, 2016. Tucker's far-ranging compositions and arrangements reflect his extensive background in jazz and classical music, but they also draw from an unexpectedly broad range of musical sources, including Gospel, pop, Middle Eastern music, hip hop and R&B. Tucker's training began at the very early age of three, when he would play along with R&B, funk and rock artists like Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Sly and The Family Stone, The Grateful Dead and The
Carpenters. It is not surprising, then, that the tracks on his debut album reflect the broad pallet he was exposed to as a child. When I Was A Child has an almost cinematic nostalgia, in its subtle, sometimes melancholic harmonies, that allows the individual band members (each a consummate artist in his/her own right) to explore, create and improvise. When I Was A Child contains an impressive array of Tucker's original works as well as his unique interpretations of jazz standards and pop songs.

Shortly after moving to Brooklyn in 2009, Tucker bagan composing for When I Was A Child. As a complete work, the record is a musing on formation and retrospection. Through the postscript of the title track's conversation with his own father, pianist Derrick Trucks, as well as the reflection and homage to his musical roots in Cinderella's A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, or Dizzy Gillespie's Con Alma (a favorite from the first record Tucker owned), Tucker has clearly defined the foundations of an inventive and compelling voice, demanding and novel, yet inviting and lyrical all at once. When I Was A Child also features virtuosic French-Dominican vocalist, Cyrille Aimee, on Dream Deterred, a sweepingly beautiful ballad co-written by the two. His unique modernization of classic pop and R&B is further underscored by Aimee's commanding performance of The Beatles' iconic Blackbird, and by Brooklyn vocalist, J. Nathaniel Reed on Stevie Wonder's I Can't Help It.

Band members include Tucker, pianist Roy Assaf, saxophonist Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, bassist Or Bareket, drummer Kenneth Salters, and vocalists Cyrille Aimee and J. Nathaniel Reed.

When I Was A Child, will be available on bandcamp.com and iTunes June 14th, 2016.

Wayne has played with numerous jazz stars, including Kurt Elling, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Cyrille Aimee, and with pop stars Taylor Swift, Elvis Costello, Matt Simons and Ne-Yo.
