Jarien Jamanila

Jarien Jamanila is a saxophonist based in New York City, where he settled after earning a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies from the Juilliard School in 2021. A native of San Diego, California, he came up through the city's School of Creative and Performing Arts before heading east. Alto saxophone is his primary voice, though he also plays tenor, soprano, and baritone saxophone as well as clarinet and flute, and his playing draws on the language of Charlie Parker and Johnny Hodges. He has shared the stage with Bobby Watson, Delfeayo Marsalis, Eric Reed, and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. In 2024 he released his debut album, Jarien Plays Jamanila, a set of original compositions.
