Since settling in San Francisco in 1997, Canada-born trumpeter Darren Johnston
has built a web of alliances, from avant-guard excursions with the likes of Myra
Melford, and the ROVA saxophone quartet, to
straight-ahead jazz outings with the likes of bassist Marcus Shelby, and
Canadian pianist David Braid. As a band-leader he is best known for his work
with the United Brassworkers Front, whose second CD, “In Between Stories”,
was recently released on Evander Music. Another new release in '07,
"Reasons for Moving," featured Fred Frith and Larry Ochs, and was
released on the Not Two label. Currently, Darren’s focus is on his "Nice
Guy Trio", which features the versatile Rob Reich on accordion and Daniel
Fabricant on bass, and the "Darren Johnston Quintet," with a new CD due any
day on the Clean Feed label. Darren was mentioned in last
June’s issue of Down Beat as one of “25 trumpeters for the
future.”

Hey Darren!
The Urban kids continue to sound better than ever; we've been having a blast. I have another one that I'd like to send your way, too, I'm working on it.
Woulda been cool to get you on this record I just finished - Joel B played trombone, and sounds completely ridiculous.
Anyhow, hope all's well!
