That moment set the course for a life steeped in swing\, soul\, and bebop brilliance. \n\n\n\nA graduate of the Rutgers University Jazz Studies Program\, Weldon launched his professional career in 1981 with the legendary Lionel Hampton Orchestra\, continuing his tenure with Hamp into the new millennium.

In 1990\, he became a charter member and featured soloist in Harry Connick Jr.’s big band\, touring globally and appearing in Connick’s Broadway production Thou Shalt Not and daytime TV show HARRY. \n\n\n\nWith eight albums as a leader—including On the Move\, which charted on JazzWeek—Weldon continues to perform worldwide\, captivating audiences with his warm\, thunderous tone and magnetic stage presence. Whether roaring through uptempo burners or caressing ballads with velvet finesse\, Jerry Weldon is a tenor force who brings the music to life—and the audience along for the ride.
