- Thomas R.Erdmann-JAZZREVIEW.com

Dan Jacobs
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am recognized internationally as a professional jazz trumpeter. Having played nearly every style of music from Dixieland, swing, big band jazz, small jazz groups, and jazz/rock/fusion, I also led my own successful jazz quintet for fifteen years in Los Angeles playing jazz clubs, concerts, clinics, festivals etc.
While in Los Angeles, I worked in the studios as a trumpeter sideman and also recorded several CD’s under my own name with many rave reviews from jazz radio stations, magazines and individuals.
A selection reviews is included in the resume to follow, but here are here are two of them as a sampling:
"Dan Jacobs emerges as one of the forces in the jazz trumpet idiom. This is a solid jazz album, a blessing for you true jazzophiles." - John Gilbert - EJAZZNEW.COM
"Dan's beautiful trumpet lines remind one of Chris Botti, except that Jacobs’ work brings more extended improvisation to the mix and a much fuller, darker, smoother and more luxurious tone than any mink coat, and twice as shiny." - Thomas R.Erdmann - JAZZREVIEW.com
Over the years, I have played professionally on the road as a leader of my own jazz group and have also played extensively as a sideman with “name artists” in their public touring acts. This includes names such as Bob James, Wayne Newton, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Mel Tormé, Johnny Mathis, Linda Rondstadt, David Clayton Thomas, Aaron Neville, Woody Herman Orchestra and many more, (included below.)
Although trumpet is my primary instrument, flute is my secondary one.
I have played jazz flute professionally with various bands on the road, in jazz clubs, in teaching and playing at jazz camps, clinics, concerts, gigs and festivals for many years. I also have recorded several CD’s where I played flute as a sideman.
I enjoy working with students of all ages from 6th grade up to university levels to share with them the love of music that I have known all my life.
On many occasions I have been a featured artist presenting clinics, master classes, lectures and live performances with High Schools and Colleges to uniformly rave reviews. I have many letters of commendation from teachers and faculty of schools where I have worked that I can provide upon request.
I also have established and maintain an active website at www.danjacobsmusic.com - dedicated to trumpeters and other musicians - which averages over 1.1 million hits annually where students can write and ask questions and get answers free of charge from a professional player. This website also contains numerous photos of my live performance on both on trumpet and on flute.
Finally, my fundamental belief is that music is a universal language; a method of communication to connect with people through emotion, feelings, and aesthetics in such a way that it enhances the lives of both the musician and the listeners.
