Composer, arranger, trumpeter, and vocalist Danny Jonokuchi releases A Decade, an autobiographical big band album that chronicles his experiences overcoming congenital disease, physical hardship, and starting anew in New York City – out August 23 via Bandstand Presents.With four albums already under his belt as a bandleader, the The International Society of Jazz Arrangers & Composers (ISJAC) award-winning arranger and acclaimed composer, trumpeter, and vocalist Danny Jonokuchi is a preeminently established musical powerhouse of the present age. Now, honing his skills and patiently laying the groundwork over ten years of utter dedication, Jonokuchi is poised to release A Decade, a big band album featuring compositions that not only outline the signature flourish of the bandleader’s writing that earned him opportunities writing for Terell Stafford and Dick Oatts, but stands as an autobiographical testament to Jonokuchi’s ability to conquer every imaginable hurdle placed before him.

At its core, A Decade is a story. Jonokuchi, now well-known and beloved for his prowess as a trumpeter, began his career by overcoming a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. Born with a congenital lung disease that remained malign through his young childhood, the condition manifested suddenly and aggressively when he was in high school. Already on track to be a powerhouse trumpeter, Jonokuchi was faced with a lung collapse that required surgical intervention. The life-saving surgery worked, but removed part of his lung. This forced a halt on his playing, and likewise forced him to reevaluate and rediscover his relationship with music, before instilling in him a new, indomitable resolve. Like the hero’s journey out of a classic myth cycle, Jonokuchi’s obstacles did not cease there.
