Jarmo Hoogendijk, trumpet, * 1965 Den Helder (NL)
Jarmo Hoogendijk, son of a Dutch father and Finnish mother, was born in Den Helder, Netherlands. At the age of 6, after hearing a record of Louis Armstrong, he decided to become a jazz trumpeter. When he was 9, Jarmo received his first trumpet and soon started taking trumpet lessons in the local music school, and joined the local brass band, a brass quintet and a chamber orchestra. While in high school, he taught himself improvisation by playing along with jazz records every day until midnight. When trumpeter Ack van Rooyen accepted him as his student at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in 1983, Jarmo was already a self-supporting musician, but his goal was to become a full-time jazz soloist.

Entering the Royal Conservatory appeared to be a true steppingstone for Jarmo's career: Already in 1983 he was co-leading a group with fellow student Ben van den Dungen (saxophones), and after having received the NOS/Meervaart -Group Award in 1985, the Ben van den Dungen/Jarmo Hoogendijk Quintet performed in most major jazz events in Holland and Germany, as well as jazz festivals in many other countries.

In 1986 Hoogendijk was hired as a solo trumpeter by the Dutch Jazz Orchestra, the Netherlands Concert Jazz Band, and the Dutch Radio Big Band, the Skymasters, and he was also awarded with the Pall Mall Export Swing Award.

In 1987/88 Jarmo spent much time with trumpeter Woody Shaw, one of his influences, who intermittently lived in Holland in the years prior to his premature death in 1989. The two trumpeters often practiced together and frequently attended each other's concerts.

Soon after graduating cum laude in 1989, Hoogendijk accepted a position as a trumpet teacher at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and the Rotterdam Conservatory.

Among others he shared the bandstand with Jimmy Heath, J.J. Johnson, Freddie Hubbard, Teddy Edwards, Woody Shaw, Art Taylor, Frank Foster, Frank Morgan, Herb Geller, Junior Cook, Charles McPherson, Mal Waldron, Horace Tapscott, Jerome Richardson, Ron Matthews, Buddy de Franco, Cindy Blackman, Alvin Queen, Rufus Read, David Williams, Lewis Nash, David Liebman, Cecil Payne, and Evan Parker.
