"Danny is great. He is a genius composer/musician. He has a unique gift for translating Dan & Swampy's [creators of ‘Phineas & Ferb’] musical ideas delivered verbally into actual musical arrangements. Which makes P & F really come to life. As a person, he's definitely got roots in cool, but he's as humble as really talented people can possibly come. Danny is a gem.”

- Slash

"Hey my old pal. Congrats on everything. You deserve it. Slash told me he dug working with you on the new film and I always loved the way you played back in high school. Keep up the great work”

-Steve Lukather Artist, 5 Time Grammy Winner, Guitar Player Magazine reader poll winner Best Studio Player 5 years in a row

"Danny Jacob is a real find, we could not do the show without him. Not only does he fill the show with wonderful underscore that always adds to the comedy or drama of the moment, but he fully produces the hundreds of songs that we write on guitar and sing badly into his answering machine. Somehow, he makes them actually sound good. We're not sure how he does that, but he does.”

-Dan and Swampy Creators and Executive Producers of "Phineas and Ferb"

"As leader of Tower of Power, I consider it a true blessing to have had Danny Jacob play guitar in our band in the mid 80's. At that time, we didn't have a keyboard player and Danny's well rounded style really filled up the band. He came in 'an incredible player' and he left 'an incredibly soulful player'. His funky rhythm, blistering solos, and background vocals were a perfect fit for Tower of Power.”

-Emilio Castillo Saxaphone player and Composer, founder of Tower of Power
