Valery Ponomarev is a Russian born jazz trumpeter. He has lived in the
United States since 1973.
He became interested in jazz after hearing it on Voice of America and felt
a particular affinity for Clifford Brown. In time he decided to flee the
then Soviet Union and ended up joining Art Blakey's "The Jazz Messengers."
After leaving he formed his own band "Universal Language."
On September 9 2006, his arm was broken in an altercation with security at
Charles De Gaulle International Airport. The altercation involved his
intention of carrying his trumpet with him onto the plane.
