The Speaker

Jesse Markowitz is a Toronto-born resident of New York City where he spends his days stoking the starmaker machinery behind the American art song; which is to say he runs his own promotions company specializing in social media for jazz musicians, with such luminary clients as Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, Roy Hargrove, Chris Potter and Fred Hersch. Jesse is a saxophone owner, and before migrating to the promotional side of music, he studied in the jazz program at Humber College, as well as the culinary school at George Brown College.
