Ryan Montaño is Jazz's newest star:

Trumpeter, songwriter and movie actor with a role in Ethan Hawke's latest release "Good Kill", Ryan is a multi talented performer who also recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, backing The Hanson Brothers.

Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ryan Montaño is much more than just Jazz or smooth jazz for that matter. We could say it's fair to illustrate Ryan Montaño's style as being more instrumental pop than smooth jazz.

Ryan Montaño's Influences are everyone from Chet Baker to Celia Cruz. His style has been described as Chet Baker meets Chris Botti meets Coldplay.

If you find yourself attending a Ryan Montaño performance, you will hear everything from an instrumental version of 'Shake your body', a latin jazz version of 'Just the two of us' by Bill Withers, all the way to Ryan's very own Billboard chart topping song, "I'd Like That'.

With solid technique, jazz sensibilities and emotive songwriting, Ryan Montaño’s sound is a captivating fusion of jazz, folk, blues and singer-songwriting style never before heard from any trumpeter or instrumental artist.
