Tom Duprey

Tom Duprey has been a freelance composer and musician in the Boston area for nearly 30 years, playing trumpet in orchestras, R&B bands and pit orchestras throughout New England. Due to his musical versatility, jazz players say Tom is a “classical player,” while classical musicians say Tom is “a jazzer with a good tone.” Tom’s energy stems from his love of musical collaboration, and working on new projects.

Tom received his Masters in Jazz Composition at The New England Conservatory, playing under Ran Blake, inspiration and mentor. Both Tom and musical collaborator James Merenda were members of The George Russell Big Band at NEC, and the two rejoined eight years later and, thus, TickleJuice was born.

Tom has performed with artists such as Tommy Tune, Robert Goulet, Johnny Matthis, and Dionne Warwick, as well as The Four Tops and The Temptations. Recently, Tom has collaborated with Grammy Award-winning artist Serj Tankian on his debut album for new music group Jazz-Iz-Christ.
