Andrew Danforth

Born: October 15, 1998

Andrew Danforth is a Brooklyn-based trombonist, composer, and bandleader whose music brings together the worlds he has moved through: Indianapolis jazz tradition, orchestral training, underground rock, improvised music, and years spent in DIY spaces across the Midwest and New York.

Danforth came up traversing jazz clubs, orchestras, house shows, and self-booked tours — experiences that continue to shape how he writes, improvises, and builds ensembles.
