Dan Barnett is one of Australia’s premier jazz talents, a charismatic vocalist, trombonist, bandleader, educator—and occasional didgeridoo and alphorn player—based in Sydney. The son of famed bassist Cliff Barnett, he trained at the NSW Conservatorium of Music and under international jazz greats like Mark Murphy and James Morrison, forging a versatile style praised as "relaxed, cool, fun” yet expertly crafted. A seasoned performer with nine albums to his name—including acclaimed recordings with his big band and the heartfelt tribute ‘One for C’ to his late father—Dan has shared stages with legends such as Dragon, Jimmy Barnes, INXS, Tommy Emmanuel, and the Australian Art Orchestra. He’s a vibrant fixture on festival stages worldwide, from Montreux and Havana to Wangaratta and Jazz in the Domain. Known for his dynamic big‑band shows and jazz combo performances, as well as workshops and educational outreach, Dan is celebrated by critics as "a natural bandleader" with a sound that’s “one of the most satisfying in Australian music".
