Danny Long

Welcome to the musical home of Danny Long, a true jazz legend who graced the world with his extraordinary talents for an astounding six decades. 

A self-taught musician whose keyboard prowess knew no bounds, Danny’s name became synonymous with jazz excellence. From his famed “Black Books” which contained thousands of arrangements and had to be carried in a suitcase, to his knack for finding unique songs that pleased crowds and later became his hallmark, Danny carved out his own place in jazz history.

Starting in Chicago, Danny spent years swinging among the vibrant vibes of Rush Street, then finished his career enchanting audiences in Phoenix. In between he traveled the country and played residencies in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, amassing a devoted following that spanned generations. As a Capitol recording artist, his melodies resonated far and wide.

There wasn’t a jazz standard request Danny didn’t master effortlessly. He was not just a musician; he was an arranger and composer, shaping the very essence of jazz itself. His legacy will forever serenade our souls, a testament to a life dedicated to rhythm and harmony.
