She’s entertainment!!!” — Elizabeth Ahlfors, Birdland
  • The Abe Mamet trio, with Joe Palmer and Steve Arnold Abe Mamet is a French horn player from Denver, CO who has lived in Washington, DC since 2017. Being one of the only musicians in the country to exclusively play jazz music on the horn, Abe has become an oft-used addition for large format ensembles across the region, most notably working for Frank Lacy in NYC and the AFree symphony in DC. His teachers and mentors include Manuel Collazo (Colorado Springs), Keith Oxman (Denver), Franz Sollner (Vienna), Morris Kliphuis (Amsterdam), and John Clark (NYC).

He received a bachelor’s degree in English and Music from the George Washington University, where he studied with Herman Burney. He has quickly become one of the region’s most in-demand upright and electric bassists, performing regularly with Sharon Clark, Donvonte McCoy, and Simone Baron, and leading his own critically-acclaimed ensemble, Sea Change.
