Nick Roseboro
Born in Seattle, Nick was inspired to play music from his teacher Robert E. Knatt and Nick's own friends in middle school. After joining the Garfield High School Jazz Band under direction of Clarence Acox, Nick moved to New York City to study with the likes of Eddie Henderson, Billy Harper, Charles Tolliver, and Rachel Z at New School University.
Now based out of Brooklyn, Nick has been molding his new quintet since 2007, featuring some the freshest young musicians on the scene. The Nick Roseboro Quintet features Travis Reuter on guitar, Jarod Kashkin on piano, Jorge Roeder on bass, and Rogério Boccato on drums.
Influenced by many sources Nick has had the honor of performing with the likes of Charli Persip, Rene Marie, Joe Chambers, Bill Harper, Rachel Z and many more. In 2008 Nick was selected to be part of a special group honoring Woody Shaw and his music (The Brass Knights). This group featured the trumpet frontline of Sean Jones and Ezana Edwards and included the great rhythm section of Mulgrew Miller, Dwayne Burno and Victor Lewis.

“The RS Berkeley Trumpet Model TP610S plays beautifully with an open and flexible sound. This versatility allows me to play in many styles with ease from ballads to fiery uptempo tunes. I feel that can grow with this horn and it will help further my sound to great heights.”
