Isaac Young bridges the gap between jazz and rock idioms, blending the tradition of Charlie Parker to The Beatles into his own unique sound. Young's compositions have a broad appeal to both jazz aficionados and the casual listeners, with twisting melodic lines over complex harmonies. Proficient on saxophone, EWI, piano, and organ, Young’s musical prowess has been impressing audiences for the past decade. Bringing in popular tunes and always pushing the musical envelope with his originals, Isaac Young’s music is an exciting and fresh take on jazz and rock fusion.

Young has been performing a mixture of fusion, bebop, funk and traditional jazz throughout New England since 2001. One of his first professional venues was the Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge, MA, where as lead saxophone for Jazz In V he opened for World Leaders, a group known for its international jazz-fusion sound. Other Greater Boston jazz clubs where Young’s groups have headlined include: Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, MA; The Natick Center for the Arts in Natick, MA; the Performing Arts Center of MetroWest and The Amazing Things Arts Center, both in Framingham, MA, Theodore’s in Springfield, MA and Strangecreek Music Festival in Greenfield, MA.

Young has also participated in numerous master classes with legendary jazz masters including Hank Jones, Dena Derose, Randy Johnson, and Christian McBride.
