Sean Mason’s compositions are taught, studied, and performed around the world.

  • “As a music educator, I have seen my students perform Sean Mason’s music in recitals and performances, and his thoughtfully notated sheet music helps guide the interpretation of his music while giving them a glimpse into the mind of the composer. In this way, studying Sean’s music is much like studying the scores of great composers such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Thelonious Monk, helping us preserve and carry forward the traditions of our music.”

    Anthony Hervey

    Professor of Trumpet, San Francisco Conservatory of Music

  • "Sean Mason’s music blends reverence, spirituality, and soulfulness in every note. It reflects who he is: genuine, deeply dedicated, and a true soldier of the music. Our Watson Ensemble students at Kansas City Area Youth Jazz are thoroughly enjoying the Sean Mason journey — one I encourage everyone to take."

    Gregory A. Carroll

    Executive & Clinician, Kansas City Area Youth Jazz

“I want to be part of a movement that creates new jazz standards for this generation.”

Sean Mason

  1. The Process

    I write each lead sheet by hand, then work with my engraver through multiple rounds of revisions until the final notation represents the composition as clearly as possible.

  2. The Mission

    My goal is to give jazz musicians new repertoire to learn, teach, perform, interpret, and make their own. I self-publish my music because I want a direct relationship with the musicians playing my compositions, without the need for a gatekeeper.

  3. The Vision

    My hope is that my compositions live beyond my own recordings, and that they become part of the jazz repertoire that will be passed on between musicians, students, educators, and ensembles for generations to come.

I’m deeply grateful to every musician, student, educator, and ensemble who chooses to spend time with my music. Every time you learn a composition, teach it, perform it, or make it your own, you give it a life beyond anything I could create by myself. Thank you for carrying the music forward.
