Ralph Alessi — an ECM recording artist, visionary trumpeter, composer, and educator whose work bridges classical precision and avant-garde exploration. With roots in a deeply musical family and a career that’s included collaborations with artists like Steve Coleman, Ravi Coltrane, and Fred Hersch, Ralph has carved out a singular voice in contemporary jazz. We talk about his critically acclaimed ECM recordings, including Baida and his latest, It’s Always Now, as well as his upcoming 2025 release featuring his brother Joe Alessi. Ralph also shares insight into his approach to improvisation, both as a performer and educator shaping the next generation.
