Shunzo Ohno is recognized as one of the most influential trumpeters and composers in jazz. His recordings are known for their tender and fearless optimism. Ohno’s performances and recordings with Gil Evans, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock have influenced his current works, with trail-blazing tones honoring Japanese traditional music. His award-winning albums and compositions received acclaimed global recognition, in addition to two Grammy Award-winning albums, ISC Grand Prize, John Lennon SWC, and much more.
His life story of resilience and riveting live performances are compelling and energizing. In pursuit of global harmony through music, he claims, “We all are Dreamers, and together, we are all triumphant.” Live at Joe’s Pub, Shunzo Ohno’s Metamorphosis performance is the premiere of his new works, with his distinguished Jazz Collective Ensemble and the Lotus Chamber Music Collective, performing innovative and favorite compositions.
"[Shunzo Ohno]... plays tight, crisply phrased lines with a stabbing rhythmic effect. Without the mute, his open tone has a broad, ringing sound that soars through high-powered driving lines…” - The New York Times
“Clearly Shunzo Ohno is no ordinary man. A spectacular trumpeter and an even greater musician” - JazzdaGama
