The French horn is not often heard in a jazz setting, which is a shame because the instrument’s warm tone is readily applicable to a number of contexts. 

The French horn is not often heard in a jazz setting, which is a shame because the instrument’s warm tone is readily applicable to a number of contexts. Abe Mamet, a 28-year old Denver native who now lives in Mount Rainier, started playing the horn in elementary school and it wasn’t long before he was improvising. Mamet’s latest recording, The Abe Mamet Trio, came out digitally in November 2021 and was pressed on vinyl in May of this year.

Mamet has a busy 2023 planned. He is aiming to record an album with a quintet and is applying for grants to support a late summer tour. Mamet also contributes to the local musical community outside of playing, writing about the local jazz scene as a contributor to CapitalBop. Mamet’s next notable gig is on January 20 at Rhizome, performing with violinist and frequent collaborator Jamie Sandel.
