Provey considers himself as trumpet Soloist. With a long history as a composer and leader, his approach is rooted in the jazz idiom. Some may call his playing “free” or avant-garde. He uses strong melodic and rhythmic approaches. There have been many influences, from Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis. Trumpeter and educator Bill Dixon was a major influence, giving Provey the opportunity to work at Bennington College in The Black Music Division. During that time, Provey was able to start working on his own language, constructing a mental approach as well as exercises that have carried him through the years a a soloist.
