A classically trained violinist who began playing jazz professionally as a teenager, Jerald Daemyon transcended the boundaries of musical genres when he embarked on a solo career. His debut album, Thinking About You, released in 1995, incorporated rhythm and blues, soul, hip-hop, funk, and world beat into contemporary and traditional jazz and symphonic music. Daemyon was considered to be an important influence in the transformation of the violin from an instrument used predominately for classical music to one that made significant impact in contemporary jazz and popular music. Raised in Detroit, Michigan, Daemyon was strongly influenced by his mother. "My mother taught me that I should never give up on myself, and that I should always believe in myself…," he told the Philadelphia Tribune in 1996. "She always told me to keep my eyes on the prize, and don't let anyone take away my dreams." Daemyon put her advice to use at an early age. He began studying violin at the age of eight, in the fourth grade in Detroit public schools under Connie Miner. Soon he was spending his weekends in a music program at Wayne State University. At age 13 Daemyon began playing be-bop jazz professionally with saxophonist Donald Walden and the Detroit Jazz Orchestra. Later he formed his own jazz band. Daemyon also continued his formal classical training with Dr. Morris Hochberg of Royal Oak, Michigan, former principal violinist of the Cleveland Orchestra and assistant concertmaster of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Daemyon attended the International Music Camp at Michigan's Interlochen School of Performing Arts. At the age of 16 he was awarded a State of Michigan Certificate of Outstanding Achievement. Daemyon also studied with the acclaimed concert violinist Peter Michalica and took master classes with perhaps the most famous violinist of all—Isaac Stern. The EntreMusician's Metadata Specialist and Jazz Violinist, Darrell Looney talks with Jerald about his storied career and perspective on jazz and the classics. Enjoy!
