From Hollywood, California Jazz man Danny joins us. This rising star and has quickly captured the attention of fans, promoters and media in the entire “contemporary” jazz market. DeepPocketsJazz.com said, "Shall we just call 2017 the year of Danny Kusz? Quite possibly! This cat has been bubbling just under the mainstream and seems to be ready to explode." Danny is doing just that. In the fall of 2016, Danny signed with Southern California based record label Innervision Records and with Colorado based booking agency Infinity Artists Group. With Danny's talent, confidence and business acumen, he is surely to be smooth jazz' next star.
The Minneapolis based saxophonist was named the hippest jazz cat by Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine back in 2007 for a reason. His energetic and passionate performances, innovative blend of genres, explosive sound, one-of-a-kind style and a zest for life truly earns him this title. Danny has had a truly remarkable 15-year career which has earned him 2 Los Angeles music awards, multiple Minnesota Music Award nominations, 3 solo albums and multiple charting songs including a #3 single on the GrooveJazz chart.
After being a sideman for many years, Danny decided to step front and center in 2014. His impressive resume has put him on stage with Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Joey DeFrancesco, Eric Leeds, Will Donato, N'Dambi, Anthony David, Phil Denny, Selina Albright, Nils and Bobbly Lyle. Danny has also opened for Morris Day & The Time, Stanley Jordan, Harvey Mason and has headlined multiple festivals and clubs such as The Dakota Jazz Club, Jazz at Jacks, Bethesda Jazz Club, Gallery Suite Jazz Series, Catalina Jazz Club, Spaghettini's, The Twin Cities Jazz Festival, Burnsville Jazz Festival, Selby Jazz Festival, Jazz 88.5 Winter Jazz Festival and The Little Apple Jazz Festival.
We discuss Pete Escovedo, Prince, Spaghettini’s in Seal Beach, California, and the numerous musicians Kusz has had the pleasure of performing as an opening act or performer. Last December 2016, Kusz was one of the featured guests at the 5th Annual Phil Denny’s Christmas Collective, and has opened for the likes of Morris Day and the Time, Stanley Jordan, and Robert Randolph & The Family to name just a few.
