Brian Swartz

Some trumpet players play notes. Brian Swartz tells stories.

A mainstay of the Los Angeles music scene for more than three decades, Swartz has built a career that moves effortlessly between jazz clubs, recording studios, film scores, and concert stages. His sound is bold, expressive, and endlessly inventive—equal parts sophistication and swing.

Leading his own acclaimed ensembles while collaborating across genres, Swartz brings a spirit of exploration to every performance. Rooted in the jazz tradition but always looking forward, his music is vibrant, adventurous, and unmistakably alive.

Cool tone. Sharp instincts. Plenty of soul.
