Since its founding in 2023, the Visions Jazz Ensemble—led by Indiana University alumni Sam Butler and Garrett Fasig—has been dedicated to delivering fresh, modern interpretations of both original compositions and timeless jazz standards. Their debut release, Across The Field (Patois Records), garnered critical acclaim, earning a feature in DownBeat Magazine and worldwide radio play for its inventive jazz arrangements of college fight songs, and collaboration with esteemed trombonist WycliFe Gordon. Each performance highlights new works by Butler, Fasig, and members of the band, with the ensemble bringing a vibrant and joyful energy to every stage. Sam, the 2023 International Trumpet Guild Jazz Solo Competition winner, and Garrett, whose compositions have been showcased by the New York Youth Symphony and renowned vocalist Brianna Thomas, push the envelope with every performance, blending creativity, artistry, and positivity in their music. Now back with their second album, Of The People presents a new musical identity for the Visions Jazz Ensemble, featuring acclaimed vocalist April Varner.
