Jazz saxophonist Jacob Chung moved from Toronto to New York City in 2022 to study with Vincent Herring, whose early advocacy led to a record deal for Jacob’s sophomore album The Sage (2024) on Cellar Music Group. Featuring Herring and drummer Joe Farnsworth, The Sage was named one of the best Canadian jazz releases of 2024 (Peter Hum, Ottawa Citizen). In 2025, Jacob released Live at Frankie’s Jazz Club, recorded with the Tyler Henderson Trio. In 2024, Jacob continued his studies with Grant Stewart at the Tribeca Jazz Institute and connected with mentors such as Chris Byars, Eric Alexander, Ari Roland, and Ken Peplowski–relationships that helped launch his growing NYC performance career. He now appears regularly at The Django, Smalls, Mezzrow, Dizzy’s Club, and more, while performing with groups led by Rodney Green, Erena Terakubo, James Sarno, and others. A rising voice in modern jazz, Jacob tours actively across the U.S. and Canada.
