Dr. Jesse Cook has been hailed by Fanfare Magazine as a trumpeter with “technical surety, a shining tone, dynamic control, a smooth legato, and real imagination.”

He has also held appointments as Principal Trumpet of the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra, Albany Symphony Orchestra, and as the Studio Professor at Valdosta State University (GA), Pittsburg State University (KS), and Northeastern State University (OK).

PTC has commissioned several new works for trumpet ensemble and toured across Texas, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and will release its debut album, “Palisades: New Music for Trumpet Ensemble” in June 2023 on Mark Records.
