John 'Johnny' Dankworth, CBE -nacido el 20 de septiembre de 1927 en Woodford, Essex, Inglaterra- fue un compositor de jazz y bandas sonoras, saxofonista, clarinetista y educador. Estuvo casado con la vocalista británica Cleo Laine desde 1958 hasta su muerte en 2010. Creció en una familia de músicos y recibió clases de violín y piano, pero tras escuchar al cuarteto de Benny Goodman a los 16 años, se decidió por el clarinete. Después escuchó a Johnny Hodges, que le inspiró para aprender a tocar el saxofón. Johnny Dankworth comenzó su carrera musical en el jazz tras estudiar en la Royal Academy of Music de Londres y servir durante un tiempo en la Royal Air Force. Tras conocer a Charlie Parker en el Festival de Jazz de París en 1949, le recomendaron al saxofonista Sidney Bechet, quien contrató a Johnny Dankworth para una gira por Suecia. El siguiente paso de Johnny Dankworth fue formar un pequeño grupo en 1950 llamado los Dankworth Seven. Después de tres años, disolvió el grupo y formó Johnny Dankworth and His Orchestra en 1953. El grupo tuvo un éxito inmediato, y muchos críticos lo compararon con las grandes bandas clásicas de la década anterior. La banda, que a menudo contaba con la vocalista de jazz británica (y esposa) Cleo Laine, publicó una serie de discos en la década de 1950, incluidos los sencillos "S'Wonderful" (1953), "Perdido" (1954), "Feather Merchant" (1955) y "Blues in the Night", además de los EP y álbumes Journey into Jazz (1956), Bundle from Britain (1959) y The Vintage Years (1959). La grabación de Johnny Dankworth and His Orchestra de "African Waltz " fue un gran éxito en 1961, alcanzando el número 9 y permaneciendo en las listas durante 21 semanas. La canción inspiró al saxofonista estadounidense Cannonball Adderley, que pidió permiso a Johnny Dankworth para grabar su arreglo de la canción. En 1965, Johnny Dankworth -catalogado como John Dankworth- y su orquesta publicaron el álbum Zodiac Variations, que incluía actuaciones de Clark Terry, Bob Brookmeyer, Zoot Sims, Phil Woods y muchos otros invitados. Johnny Dankworth siguió publicando álbumes durante los años sesenta y principios de los setenta, pero el líder del grupo, que volvería a llamarse John Dankworth, empezó a centrarse en componer partituras para cine y televisión y la orquesta acabó por desaparecer. John Dankworth siguió componiendo y grabando hasta 2009. En 2006, John Dankworth fue nombrado Caballero Bachiller en la Lista de Honores de Año Nuevo. Murió el 6 de febrero de 2010 a la edad de 82 años.
