Jaime Valle

Jaime Valle started out playing top 40 hits, but before long grew tired and was looking for something new when he happened upon jazz. It was a match made in heaven. After studying with Howard Roberts among others, Jaime went on to forge a top flight repertoire leading to multiple San Diego music awards in both straight ahead and Latin jazz. In addition to playing, Jaime worked at a number of music shops in San Diego while starting out and also owned his own shop for a period of time. Very well-versed in gear from his shop days and long playing history, Jaime makes it a point to regularly attend NAMM shows with his son.
