Douglas Detrick is a Portland, Oregon-based composer, trumpet player, and arts consultant whose work in these diverse areas is distinguished by its quiet thoughtfulness and its embrace of good ideas from unconventional sources. He was awarded the 2011 Chamber Music America New Jazz Works and Presenting Jazz grants for his work with his chamber-jazz quintet Douglas Detrick’s AnyWhen Ensemble, and the commissioned work “The Bright and Rushing World” was premiered at New York’s Jazz Gallery in 2012 and performed throughout the United States. He is currently the Executive Director of the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble, and performs in Oregon as well as touring nationally. He also holds a Bachelor’s of Music degree in trumpet performance with jazz emphasis from Lawrence University of Appleton, WI. There he studied trumpet with John Daniel, jazz composition with Fred Sturm, and classical music composition with Joanne Metcalf and Marcos Balter. Detrick was born in New Jersey and educated in Wisconsin, but his upbringing near Portland, Oregon has had the biggest influence on who he has become: His music most often finds the performers taking part in an auditory ecosystem, where each player chooses what to play based on what the immediate musical environment, like his memories of playing outside beneath the giant fir trees of his green homeland.
