Ted Chubb

Ted Chubb is an expressive trumpeter, inventive composer and keen arts administrator and educator, performing as both bandleader and side musician with NYC luminaries including Winard Harper, Christian McBride, Wallace Roney, Rudresh Mahanthappa, and Billy Hart. At the center of Chubb’s music is a warm, distinct trumpet sound grounded in storytelling, capable of conveying melody with directness, vulnerability, and emotional clarity. His writing favors melodies that remain accessible and singable while still allowing space for forward-leaning harmony, open expression, and rhythmic momentum. He's graced stages from Smalls and Jazz at Lincoln Center to festivals across four continents.  With his wife Rachel Ryll, Chubb co-owns The Statuary, a Jersey City artist space, jazz venue, and community hub.  His new album "Live at The Statuary" releases May 2026 on Circle 9 records.
