A trumpeter, composer, arranger, and music copyist, Jon Menges’s creative and talented musical programs delighted audiences in the Chicago area for many years. Jon has performed with such great artists as Cab Calloway, Lou Rawls, Neil Sadaka, Leslie Uggams, Joel Gray, Jim Nabors, Freddie Cole, and Jon Faddis.
