Biography
Saxophonist and composer Brice Winston is a native of Tucson, AZ, but spent 16 years developing his craft in New Orleans with countless local musicians as well as world-class figures such as Nicholas Payton, Brian Blade, and Ellis Marsalis. Brice also developed a close musical relationship with New Orleans native and 5-time Grammy Award winning trumpeter Terence Blanchard lasting over fifteen years - an association affording him the opportunity to perform all over the world with some of the greatest musicians alive including Herbie Hancock, Dianne Reeves, Lionel Loueke and Dave Holland. Brice has recorded 7 CD’s with Blanchard including the Grammy Award winning CD, A Tale of God’s Will - A Requiem For Katrina as well as more than 15 movie scores for film director Spike Lee among others. Following the events of Hurricane Katrina, Brice has landed back in Tucson and has become deeply involved in jazz education, forming the Tucson Jazz Institute (TJI) in 2008 - a school recognized as one of the premier jazz education programs in the country, with its ensembles winning numerous 1st place awards in national competitions. Brice joined the jazz faculty at the University of Arizona in 2017 in addition to the Pima Community College jazz faculty in the fall of 2021. Brice was recently featured as the lead arranger for actor/comedian/filmmaker Tyler Perry’s upcoming film A Jazzman’s Blues, scheduled for release in 2022.
