A D.C.-Rooted, Genre-Bending Masterpiece From Multi-Instrumentalist BJ Simmons Featuring 15 Powerful Collaborators
WASHINGTON - TelAve -- Saxophonist, composer, producer, and longtime Washington, D.C. creative force BJ Simmons has officially released his third solo album, Trapped In, now streaming on all major platforms. With 15 dynamic collaborators across jazz, hip-hop, gospel, and R&B, the album showcases Simmons' signature sound: bold, emotional, and deeply grounded in D.C.'s cultural fabric.
The release follows Simmons' spotlight performance at last year's DC Jazz Festival. His reputation as a genre-bridging artist continues to grow as Trapped In delivers a cinematic soundscape marked by moody production, acrobatic sax solos, and raw lyricism.

Trapped In is available on BandCamp, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and all streaming platforms.
