Famed
New York and LA band leader, trumpet player, vocalist and arranger, DANNY
JONOKUCHI, visits the North East for a one-off gig with STRICTLY SMOKIN’ BIG
BAND. We’ve featured Danny’s arrangements at SSBB for a few years now, and are
very excited to hook up for this gig.
Danny
Jonokuchi has been called a world class performer and the “sound of this era”
(Nextbop).
This
music swings from start to finish – Danny’s arrangements are fresh but hold
true to the New York big band tradition – think Birdland, Village Vanguard and
Blue Note.
We’ll
be featuring Danny on trumpet and vocals, as well as our own Alice Grace and
members of Strictly Smokin’.
Few
artists are as diversely involved in their craft. You can hear his original
compositions and arrangements in renowned jazz clubs, listen to albums he has
arranged and produced, and see him perform on Broadway in the Tony-nominated
musical Be More Chill.
Writing
has always been Danny’s passion and his arrangements have been performed by an
incredible cast of acclaimed artists including Lady Gaga, Grammy-nominated
vocalist Nicole Zuraitis, Post Modern Jukebox singer Hannah Gill, The Duke
Ellington Legacy, The Terell Stafford Quintet, Brian Newman, Charles Turner
& Uptown Swing, Ulysses Owens Jr.’s New Century Big Band, The Birdland Big
Band, The South Philly Big Band, Peter Bernstein, The Gordon Webster Band, and
The Dick Oatts Sextet.
This
is Danny’s only UK concert date.
