Danny Tobias
An old-fashioned trumpet player in the best modern way.
About Me
Equally at home with a cornet or trumpet, Danny Tobias brings beautiful shape
and individuality to his performances. Playing professionally since the age of 15,
he’s best known for traditional jazz and swing, either reproducing classic
arrangements or artful improvisation. Danny’s skills and repertoire embrace a
variety of styles.
In addition to playing with the Midiri Brothers’ Sextet at jazz festivals across the
USA, Danny has led bands and performed for the Pennsylvania Jazz Society, New
Jersey Jazz Society and the Tri-State Jazz Society. Danny has worked with a
number of prolific artists such as Warren Vaché, Scott Robinson, Vince Giordano,
Wycliffe Gordon, Gordon Webster, Harry Allen, Jon-Erik Kellso, Marty Grosz,
Brooks Tegler and Howard Alden. He has performed at Birdland, the Lincoln
Center Atrium, the Players Club, and other jazz-loving venues in New York City,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Halifax and Montreal!
Danny also mentors young musicians, encouraging them to reach the heights of
their skill and creativity.
My Jazz Story
I learned trumpet in the local school band--I was soon hooked on the sounds of Dizzy Gillespie and was playing professionally by the time I was 15 years old.
