Jonathan Dely

With credits including Lincoln Center, SFJAZZ, and the starring role in the 2023 biopic, “Goodbye Jonathan’s Soul,” trumpeter Jonathan Dely has captured eyes and ears not only for his musical talent on-stage and on-screen, but also for the story that animates his career: turning down a lucrative career on Wall Street to become a musical artist. Hailed by SFJAZZ as, “performing material that undoubtedly appeals to lovers of [Wynton] Marsalis’ clarion tone and Chris Botti’s wide-ranging eclecticism,” Dely performs one of jazz’s most extraordinary live concerts, masterfully interweaving musical styles of jazz, classical, rock, and more— a feat that has garnered praise from both critics and concertgoers alike who are enraptured by Dely’s smooth, virtuosic trumpet sound, the versatility of his razor sharp ensemble, and his live concert’s ability to both earn and transcend the label of, “jazz.”
