Jim Lutz

I’m a professional trombonist, composer, and music producer with more than 2 decades of experience in music including Cirque du Soleil, Broadway, and numerous live and recorded productions and events. I write, arrange, produce, record, and perform music for a wide range of projects—from large touring productions to intimate studio work—bringing a versatile blend of jazz, classical, and contemporary styles to every assignment. I love collaborating with directors, choreographers, and performers to craft music that supports the story and fuels the energy on stage.
Based in the New York area, I work as an independent creator, session musician, and Broadway sub, delivering high-energy performances and tailored productions for Cirque du Soleil, Paramour, and a diverse roster of clients. I regularly create new music and videos, maintain an active one-man show, and bring real-time musical leadership to the ensemble wherever I perform.
