ALL-STATE JAZZ BAND CONDUCTOR BIO

Tito Carrillo, trumpet, composer, educator, is a native of Austin, TX, born of a Puerto Rican father and Mexican-American mother, and his music blurs the lines between Afro-Caribbean music traditions and modern jazz. He manages to meld such influences as Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, and Woody Shaw with many rhythmic styles from the Afro-Latin diaspora, inspired to do so by artists such as Miguel Zenón, Danilo Pérez, and David Sanchez. Carrillo came to prominence in the mid 90’s in Chicago’s rich jazz and Latin music scenes, becoming a top call soloist, sideman, and bandleader. He has toured and recorded with Willie Pickens, Ryan Cohan, Kurt Elling, Juan Pastor’s Chinchano, Cuban flutist Orlando “Maraca” Valle, Quincy Jones, and Phil Collins. His critically-acclaimed solo debut album Opening Statement was released on the Origin Records label in 2011.  His latest album Urbanessence on Origin Records was released in October 2022 to rave reviews, and Raúl de Gama of Latinjazz.net writes, "Mr. Carrillo's tone soars, elegant and bright as he seems to reach the rarified realm of spirituality in music."  Tito Carrillo was the full-time professor of jazz trumpet at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 2006-2023. In fall of 2023 he accepted a position as the full-time professor of jazz trumpet at Texas State University in San Marcos.

2023 AUDITION MATERIALS

The following audition materials for the 2023 All-State Jazz Band are broken down by instrument. Click each link to download the audition materials. 

New this year for jazz drum set auditions: a click track has been added to the solo breaks in the jazz drum kit play-a-long tracks to aid students in navigating that particularly challenging part of the audition. In addition, ALL drummers will submit the auxiliary percussion audition excerpt this year instead of having a separate audition for aux. perc. The judge will select a primary drum set player who will mostly play drum kit and possibly some auxiliary percussion, and a secondary drum set player who will mostly play auxiliary percussion and some drum kit.

All etudes should be performed with the provided play-a-long tracks. Scales and drum set style patterns should be performed unaccompanied.
