Born and raised in New Orleans by his maternal grandparents, trombonist and singer Jeffery Miller understands that you don’t get to where you want to be without sacrifice. When jazz vanguard Wynton Marsalis hand-picked him out of high school to join him at Juilliard, he knew that he would have to leave his aging grandparents behind to chase his dream in New York. Now 24, Jeffery has scored 3 GRAMMY® nominations in 2019 for contributions to jazz projects by Jon Batiste and John Legend- and set on the path to becoming a solo artist.
