Emma Dayhuff

Born: December 30

Emma Dayhuff is a bassist, composer, bandleader, and educator based in Los Angeles, with
deep roots in Chicago’s creative music scene. She has performed across the U.S. and
internationally with artists including Herbie Hancock, David Murray, Cécile McLorin Salvant, and Patricia Barber. Her debut album, Innovations & Lineage: The Chicago Project (2025, Division 81 Records), featuring Dee Alexander, Isaiah Collier, and Kahil El’Zabar, established her voice as a composer shaped by Chicago’s experimental lineage.

Her forthcoming album Mountains expands that voice, turning her compositions into genre-
bending vignettes that form an autobiographical story arc. In traversing her musical landscapes, she brings together musicians from Chicago and Los Angeles, including Corey Wilkes, Isaiah Collier, Jonathan Pinson, Paul Cornish, Andrew Renfroe, and Akenya Seymour.  She is a member of the Esthesis Quartet, whose third album Sound & Fury (2025, Sunnyside Records) featuring Bill Frisell, was named among the year’s best by DownBeat.
