Danny Sinoff - MNJC 2026 Jazz Fest

Danny Sinoff, born in Boston and raised in Naples, Florida, is a pianist, singer, and bandleader celebrated as one of the most compelling interpreters of the Great American Songbook. He began classical piano lessons at age four and quickly distinguished himself in competitions before discovering jazz in his teens, inspired by Harry Connick Jr. and Bobby Darin. By 13 he was already gigging professionally, and after a period at Berklee College of Music, he returned to Southwest Florida to establish himself as a full‑time performer.

Sinoff has collaborated with an impressive roster of jazz luminaries, including David “Fathead” Newman, The Brubeck Brothers, Russell Malone, Joe Farnsworth, Herlin Riley, Byron Landham, and Lew Del Gatto of the Saturday Night Live band. His influences span Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, and Mulgrew Miller, shaping a style that blends swinging piano virtuosity with a warm, crooning vocal delivery.

Over two decades, Sinoff has become a fixture in Florida’s jazz scene, leading trios and quartets at venues such as The Roadhouse Café and Ellington’s Jazz Club, while also performing in New York at Smoke, The Apollo Theater, and BB King’s. Known for his charisma and magnetic stage presence, he continues to captivate audiences nationwide.
