About Jonathan - professional trumpet player

Lifelong musician. Jazz soul. A comeback story in every note.
 

Jonathan Hoehn’s journey with the trumpet began before he could walk. Raised in a home filled with music, he first reached for his father’s horn as a toddler — and never let go. By third grade, he was already performing, and by sixth grade earned a spot in the high school band. His love for the trumpet only deepened through high school and into adult life, performing everywhere from intimate church services to full-scale concert productions.
 

But in 2022, everything changed.
 

Jonathan suffered a life-threatening brain injury. Overnight, the music stopped — and the fight of his life began. Against the odds, he not only recovered, but came back to his instrument better than before, with a new sense of purpose. His tone became richer. His phrasing more human. His music more honest.
 

Jonathan is a Denver-based jazz music trumpet artist. His performances blend jazz, classical, sacred, and cinematic elements, all colored by a story of resilience and redemption. Whether performing for a wedding ceremony, sacred concert, private event, or original recording, Jonathan plays with a kind of depth that only comes from having lost — and fought — for the chance to play again.
 

He is currently recording his second album, If I Only Had a Brain — a genre-blending jazz project born from both imagination and healing. His first album, sacred concert performances, wedding ceremonies and dances as well as other collaborations have touched audiences across Colorado and beyond.

Today, Jonathan continues to perform widely while studying with Caleb Hudson of Canadian Brass and Professor at the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas. “I’m determined to make the most of the incredible opportunities I’ve been given. I work hard every day to perfect my craft, because I want my music to bring hope, joy, and inspiration to those who listen.”

You’ll find samples of Jonathan’s music—both audio and video—throughout this site, along with opportunities to book him for concerts, weddings or other events. My Imagination is available as a physical CD here, or digitally on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and YouTube.

Enjoy the music—and thank you for listening.
