JONATHAN DELY

American trumpeter JONATHAN DELY performs one of jazz's most extraordinary live concerts with an all-star band of the world’s finest musicians. 

Celebrated by SFJAZZ as "performing material that undoubtedly appeals to lovers of Wynton Marsalis' clarion tone and Chris Botti's wide-ranging eclecticism,” Dely masterfully interweaves styles of jazz, classical, rock, and more — a feat that has earned him invitations from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, as well as praise from critics and concertgoers who are enraptured by Dely’s silky trumpet sound, the versatility of his razor sharp ensemble, and his live show’s ability to both earn and transcend the label of “jazz.” 

Dely famously turned down a lucrative Wall Street career to pursue the musical arts, a journey that legendary director Bob Giraldi adapted into the 2023 short film Goodbye Jonathan’s Soul, in which Dely stars as himself.
