As a celebrated multi-instrumentalist, Wayne Bergeron is a bona fide force majeure in modern jazz. From his upper-register articulations and stylistic versatility, Wayne’s iconic playing on trumpet, flugelhorn, cornet, and further instruments has defined myriad lead and accompanying parts, including the soundtrack of 2004’s The Incredibles, lead-trumpet duties with the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, and the famous solo that defines the Final Jeopardy theme, “Think!”

Beyond his solo work, Wayne Bergeron’s oeuvre spans decades of unrivaled sideman sonics and guest playing; he began as the lead trumpeter with Maynard Ferguson in 1986. From there, a who’s-who of brass-accompanied excellence would follow, including playing and recording with Neil Diamond, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, Barry Manilow, Robbie Williams, and more.
