About

Called “a revelation” by The New York Times, trumpeter and composer Milena Casado is one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary jazz. Known for her fluid improvisation and deeply personal compositions, she effortlessly moves between acoustic music and electronic experimentation, blending tradition with innovation.

Recently recognized by the LA Times as a can’t-miss newcomer who’s keeping the spirit of jazz moving, Casado has already generated major buzz through her work with Terri Lyne Carrington, Aaron Parks, SOMI, and other guiding forces in the music world, earning critical acclaim. She has been featured at many of the world’s top venues and festivals, including Carnegie Hall, The Village Vanguard, North Sea Jazz Festival, and Montreal Jazz Festival, among others.

An increasingly notable bandleader in her own right, Casado leads her working quintet. Backed by this group, Casado recently released her debut album, Reflection of Another Self, on Candid Records.
