The Danny Jonokuchi Big Band has quickly become one of New York City's premier swing bands. A favorite in the Lindy Hop dance community, their “smile-inducing” (DownBeat) sound is fueled by trumpeter/arranger Danny Jonokuchi and vocalist Alexa Barchini. In 2020, they won the inaugural Count Basie Great American Swing Contest in a unanimous vote for their virtual performance of “One O’Clock Jump”. The band’s debut album, “Let Me Off Uptown”, was released in 2019 and they are now working on an upcoming release.
