Astute, self-possessed” (The New York Times). Ingram’s artistry is on full display on his new album "Aries Dance", which features NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart on drum. Ingram has also released four acclaimed recordings for Sunnyside Records in duo, trio, and quartet formats, including 2022’s "Play Favorites", a perfectly matched duo collaboration with vocalist Aubrey Johnson, which showcases Ingram’s “Mastery of the 88’s” (The New York City Jazz Record). His 2019 trio recording, "The Means of Response", is an intricate, virtuosic and powerful protest record, and a message of hope and solidarity for his young son. A collection of “exquisitely performed pieces, all composed by Ingram”, (Jazz Times), The Means of Response features his working trio of bassist Drew Gress and drummer Jochen Rueckert, two of jazz’s most esteemed veteran sidemen.
Originally from California, Ingram attended the New England Conservatory of Music before moving to Brooklyn, NY in 2003. He has played with leading musicians including John Patitucci, Jeff Tain Watts, Curtis Stigers, Tierney Sutton, Ingrid Jensen, Kendrick Scott, Lage Lund and the late Billy Higgins. Ingram made his acting debut in 2013, portraying one of his heroes, Bill Evans, in the Swedish biopic “Monica Z”, about the vocalist Monica Zetterlund.
