Danny Jonokuchi is a multi-talented jazz artist based in New York City and Los Angeles. As a jazz trumpeter, vocalist, composer, arranger, producer, and educator, few artists are as diversely involved in their craft. He has been recognized for his performance on two GRAMMY Award-Winning projects, and you can hear his compositions and “world-class arrangements” (Broadway World) in renowned jazz clubs, listen to albums he has arranged and produced, and hear him perform on Broadway stages.

His highly anticipated big band album, Voices, features 11 vocalists and will be released summer 2023 on Outside In Music. The four singles, “What a Difference a Day Made”, “All or Nothing at All”, “You Turned the Tables on Me” and “Born to Be Blue” are streaming now on all digital platforms. In 2020, he was unanimously named winner of the inaugural Count Basie Great American Swing Contest by a panel of noteworthy judges. DownBeat Magazine remarked, “The music is expertly executed and offers an infectious, kinetic quality.” Danny was also the recipient of the 2020 ASCAP Foundation Louis Armstrong Award.

Danny is joined on stage by Nicole Zuraitis, Lucy Yeghiazaryan, Shenel Johns, Charles Turner, Tahira Clayton, Sirintip, Alexa Barchini and Hannah Gill.
