About Daryl
Daryl is a highly sought after recording and performing musician.
As a performer he’s toured in Japan, through the UK, and played shows in the USA and Cuba, working with great musicians like Jorge Chicoy (Cuba), Paul Jackson (Japan), Kenny Werner (USA), John Stowell (USA), Pete Oxley (UK), Terumasa Hino (Japan) and Jeff Berlin (USA).
He’s also a dedicated and highly sought after teacher and mentor, and has been heading the guitar program in the VCC Music Department since 2012.
As a musician he’s passionate about the music and about how listeners connect to performers and live music, particularly live jazz, which is fundamentally about musicians in relationship with each other engaged in making something greater than the sum of the parts, something which includes the audience’s experience as a part of the creative process.
Daryl Jahnke’s choice of repertoire, taste in playing, versatility, and performance expertise provided the perfect backdrop and atmosphere for our Spinal Chord Gala – a gala evening in support of ICORD and the Vancouver Cantata Singers.
