Jason, Aylward, Trumpet, shoulder

Actually, not my trumpet.

Jason Aylward Conductor, with swag

Doing the move where you bow and grip the podium rail. Like a baller.

Headshot, this is what I use when I cant decide to introduce myself as a trumpet player or conductor. Or for the occasions when I compose.

Jason Aylward, mid conducting

I didn't take this photo. Clearly.

Jason Aylward, laughing

This is old. 2011? Taken by Adam Johnson. Laughing about something.

Welcome to the Jason Aylward show.

Primetime, public television. Watch me interview no one.

Jason Aylward, Laughing/Green Screen

Here I am, in front of a green screen. Or is it a forest? Or is it the Empire State Building?

Jason Aylward, Classical Trumpet

Yes, I own this tailcoat.

Jason Aylward, Trumpet, Fall

This is the one with a real "Dead Poets' Society" vibe. For some reason.

Jason Aylward, Trumpet, Shadows

This picture looks awesome. I mean, come on. In reality, I was crouching under a stairwell at a college in Michigan. Boom- illusion shattered.

Jason Aylward, Trumpet, Fall

Me with the stock, trumpet-over-the-shoulder pose.

Jason Aylward, Piccolo trumpet

This is the one put into the mix to show that I play the picc. Because sometimes I do jazz too, yet I need to show that I'm diverse. Because the world isn't ready to accept someone who does multiple things.
