Virtuosic trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer Milena Casado is one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary jazz. Known for her fluid improvisation and deeply personal compositions, she effortlessly moves between acoustic music and electronic experimentation, blending tradition with innovation.
Born and raised in Spain, Casado’s musical journey has been one of self-discovery and resilience. Her debut album, Reflection of Another Self, is a stunning first statement—sonically adventurous and deeply introspective. Through cinematic textures and fearless improvisation, she delves into identity, transformation, and heritage, delivering a debut album fit for someone destined to upend the jazz world.
Casado has already generated major buzz through her work with Terri Lyne Carrington, Vijay Iyer, Aaron Parks, Kris Davis, and other guiding forces in the music world, earning critical acclaim. The New York Times has hailed her as “a revelation.”
Her music is a reflection of identity, resilience, and exploration. “For me, music feels like home, a place where I can explore who I am and what I have to say.”
