▪︎Josh Aguiar is one of Southern California’s best improvising trumpeters. Drawn to jazz at an
early age, Josh first apprenticed with the great Bobby Bradford, renowned for his work with Ornette Coleman and other avant-garde luminaries, before heading to Indiana University to study with David Baker, a pioneering giant in the field of jazz education. Josh earned a special commendation from Baker in his final year of study at Indiana University, a Performer’s
Certificate, awarded only to the most outstanding students in any given year. He later earned his MFA from California Institute of the Arts and his DMA from the University of Southern California.
While at CalArts he studied with Wadada Leo Smith, Charlie Haden, Larry Koonse, and Joe
LaBarbera; at USC he learned from Bob Mintzer, Alan Pasqua, and Vince Mendoza.
As a professional, Josh has been active in the Southern California music scene for 20 years. He
has recorded on numerous albums, notably the late Clare Fischer’s latin jazz album, “Ritmo!,”
which garnered a Grammy in 2013. In 2020, he was featured as a soloist on the legendary big
band arranger Mike Barone’s last album, “Brazil.” In that same year, he was featured on bassist Igor Kogan’s superlative small group album, “In a Big City,” which also included multiple Grammy nominated vocalist Tierney Sutton. He is a soloist in Dr. Scott Jeppesen’s Rocky Mountain Jazz Collective, a modern jazz repertory orchestra based in Montana. From 2000-2003, he lived in Taipei, Taiwan, where he studied Chinese, worked as a translator, and was in demand both as a jazz soloist and as a sideman in the Taiwanese pop scene, playing on
various recordings and touring with the great Sticky Rice Band.
He has taught extensively at all levels. In 2023 he was appointed jazz trumpet professor at
California State University Northridge (CSUN), home to one of Los Angeles’s premier jazz departments. Additionally, since 2015 he has taught a variety of jazz and music theory-related
courses at Santa Monica College, consistently regarded as one of the best community college
music programs in greater Los Angeles.
His playing is noted for a balance of traditional and modern elements, and a lyrical combination of freedom and structure.
In addition to the trumpet, Josh is a highly competent pianist and composer. Also evident in his music is the assimilation of classical music influences, reflecting his years of conservatory study. A consummate professional and dedicated artist, he is
comfortable in a variety of genres and settings.
