★★★★½ ”Polarity is a jewel of intensely played music and interactive creativity performed with openness and edginess in the company of a top-notch quintet.”
–JazzTrail

★★★★ “Rosenboom deftly transplants some of the indelible verities of the second Miles Davis Quintet, particularly his penchant for floating, ambiguous melodies and haunting harmony, within a thoroughly contemporary rhythmic conception.
–DownBeat Magazine

★★★★ “A performance which gushes with energy and dexterous playing by all involved… An inspired session from a trumpeter whose voice seems to become more idiosyncratic with every release.”
–All About Jazz

“With a mix of ferocity and intrigue, Rosenboom and his ensemble deliver scintillating creative music where each one of these musicians shines.”
–Making A Scene

“Dan Rosenboom finds a powerful conduit for his creative ideas in Templeton, Escreet, Mohler and Reid, enabling him to fulfill the promise of all of his compositions with the uncompromising Polarity.”
–SomethingElse Reviews

“The rest [Polarity] presents six fine-crafted Rosenboom compositions that find the leader's technical poise matching the band's empathy and drive… combines the focus of the classically trained with the expressive power of left-field jazz… this band lets his poised musicianship and edge-of-seat improv flourish.”
–Jazzwise Magazine

 
 
 
 

L-R: John Escreet, Damion Reid, Dan Rosenboom, Billy Mohler, Gavin Templeton

“A singularly creative voice whose unique aesthetic encompasses an array of idiosyncratic influences...a lyrical virtuoso with a commanding tone, whose expansive trumpet technique is saliently paralleled in his diverse writing...an artist on the rise.”
— All About Jazz
 

UPCOMING EVENTS

 
 
“Los Angeles trumpeter Rosenboom and his colleagues have the spark in them, the connection to that nexus where head, heart, and spirit collide. His improvisations flow with an undisputable internal logic so that every turn seems as inevitable upon hearing as it was unpredictable moments before. Whether his music shifts from a trumpet march to an electric guitar loop, from frenzy to quiet breath, from tight ensemble to bickering solos, I feel smarter and somehow better for having heard it. Great music teaches ... trains the brain. Coltrane, Dylan, Hendrix, Carla Bley, Leroy Jenkins, Bach all do this. So does Daniel Rosenboom.”
— Hobert Taylor, KUCI

MUsic VIDEOs

 
“It’s wildly inventive, improvisational music that defies easy categorization such as jazz-rock fusion, electronica, or progressive jazz. It is all of those and more… Rosenboom’s vision is as wide ranging as any… Dive in for an immersive experience. Music rarely gets more explorative than this.”
— Glide Magazine
 

the boom method

 
 

Dan Rosenboom’s ground-breaking pedagogy book for trumpet and other instruments we published by Balquhidder Music and distributed by Carl Fischer in 2019.

“Dan Rosenboom is one of the finest trumpeters I’ve had the privilege to work with. Besides being a stylistically complete musician, Dan is a deep thinker when it comes to music or overcoming issues on the trumpet. The book you hold in your hands is great representation of things Dan has practiced to mold him into the virtuoso musician he is today. All the material is laid out in a practical fashion with thorough explanations of the goals at hand. As a student of the trumpet, I’m looking forward to diving into this material myself. Bravo Dan!”

–Wayne Bergeron, Yamaha Performing Artist, Los Angeles Studio Musician, Instructor of Jazz Trumpet, California State University, Northridge

Also endorsed by studio legends, Jon Lewis and Barry Perkins, international superstar trumpet soloist, Jens Lindemann, and the entire trumpet section of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. (Read here)
