CARLY STOCK MAKES WAVES
Los Angeles native Carly Stock is a jazz saxophonist known for her soulful improvisation and big lead alto sound. Carly earned her BM in Jazz Studies at the University of North Texas (‘23) where she played in the seven-time Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Lab Band for nearly two years.
After graduating from UNT and returning to Los Angeles, Carly was immediately recruited to tour with Phat Cat Swinger, “Hollywood’s Hottest Little Big Band” and has since been making a name for herself as a prominent young lead alto player in the industry. Carly frequently performs at Disneyland’s California Adventure Park and Dollywood Park (Pigeon Forge, TN) and has collaborated/toured with artists like Jens Lindemann (Canadian Brass), Adrian Younge (Jazz Is Dead), Olivia Kuper Harris (The Voice), Blake Lewis (American Idol), Matt Cattingub, and Allison Miller at venues across the country.
Carly has been highlighted by many media outlets, including NPR’s World Cafe (Philadelphia), NBC News (Chicago and Dallas), and was a featured artist on the Everything Saxophone Podcast. You might also recognize Carly from her Instagram video collaborations with Conn-Selmer USA or her work with BetterSax.
In addition to performance, Carly is passionate about music education and currently teaches at Music Box in Redondo Beach and at middle and high schools around Los Angeles. Carly is an advocate for women's equity in jazz music, and her presence continues to break boundaries in the field.
