JazzPOP: Darren Johnston Quintet

  • to This is a past program

"Someone to watch, on trumpet of course, but as a composer and bandleader as well." —Downbeat Magazine

Bay Area trumpeter and composer Darren Johnston makes music that is irresistibly energetic, lyrical, and soulful. Johnston’s band, which includes West Coast musical treasure Ben Goldberg on clarinet, is extravagantly accomplished and navigates his tricky musical structures with an effortless fluidity and improvisational prowess.
