But in terms of fusing styles and different influences, that doesn't really have to do so much with an attempt to blend cultures it's that I appreciate music from all different genres and from all different parts of the world. ![]() I have another band, PLOTZ! that plays a variety of Balkan traditional music mixed with jazz and metal and other kinds of, I guess, more contemporary American music.

His father, David Rosenboom is currently Dean, Richard Seaver Distinguished Chair in Music at the California Institute of the Arts (and has been at CalArts since 1990), and having a first trumpet teacher in the form of Wadada Leo Smith, where others may have rebelled to the surfscape or gone full Charlie Sheen, Daniel is confidently fulfilling his destiny to boom loud and boom proud. To say Dan Rosenboom is no ordinary jazz trumpeter, is no exaggeration. ![]()
