Currently based out of Chicago and originally 'from' the Black Hills of South Dakota, trumpeter/composer/bandleader Alex Massa has resided in New Orleans, Winnipeg, South Texas, and the high seas. His influences range from the simple to the obscure, and he does his best to participate in and create a sense of community wherever he is.
