It was a pleasure to visit with our guest, Izzi Guzman, in this edition of The Art Parlor! Listeners may remember her from previous Friends in Art showcases. A dynamic trombonist, composer, arranger, and educator, Izzi is passionate about sharing joy, creativity, and authenticity through music. Based in Miami and Orlando, Florida, she aims to bring stories to life through her art and foster accessible and creativity-driven music education for the next generation.
Izzi’s innovative and technical prowess has earned her recognition, and she has performed with renowned groups such as the John Daversa Big Band, Frost Jazz Orchestra, and Florida Wind Symphony Jazz Orchestra. Along the way, she has collaborated with jazz legends like John Daversa, Jazzmeia Horn, Brian Lynch, Etienne Charles, and Marcus Strickland, solidifying her place in the jazz world.
Listen as she recounts her journey, beginning with her childhood, and how her passion for art led her to explore music, which eventually expanded to include multiple brass instruments! To stay abreast of her career and social media, visit her website at www.izziguzman.com.
