A graduate of the New England Conservatory and The Juilliard School, Adewumi became the first jazz trumpeter to receive the prestigious Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship in 2017. He went on to win 1st place at the 2019 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Competition, the 2024 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award and Gregory Morris Composing Fellowship, and in 2025 received the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship. Adewumi has been voted a “Rising Star” in the DownBeat Critics Poll.
The Flame Beneath The Silence is Adewumi's debut as a leader, after work with Moran, Halvorson, Dave Douglas, Frank Carlberg and others. It finds the trumpeter, born in New Hampshire to Nigerian immigrants, with three of the most important voices in modern jazz: vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Marcus Gilmore. The album was recorded live at Brooklyn's Ornithology, an intimate and engaging showcase for Adewumi's skills as a composer, collaborator and conceptualist.
