Al Cron is a Boston-based jazz trombonist and composer making some serious noise in the jazz world with the digital re-release of his first recording “The Prowl”. Influenced by his studies with jazz masters Hal Crook, Bob Brookmeyer, John McNeil, and George Russell, in addition to leading and recording with his own groups regularly, Al has toured and performed with legends including Aretha Franklin, Johnny Mathis, the Temptations, and the Artie Shaw Orchestra.

An engaging and dynamic clinician and guest artist, Al is an emerging voice in jazz, the trombone, and jazz education, inspiring students and audiences alike with his vibrant approach to improvisation and his musical passion.

The re-release of two of his earlier recordings, “The Prowl” (now available on all streaming services), and “Circle’s and Roots” which drops in late September, is a lead-up to two exciting new projects: a dynamic sextet album and a fresh quartet recording featuring all-new music with a trio of Boston’s finest—bassist Dave Zinno, tenor saxophonist Dino Govoni, and drummer Brooke Sofferman.

Whether on stage, in the classroom, or in the studio, Al and his music are right on time in 2025!
