DW Jazz

Exceptional Manchester-based jazz pianist

Profile

Dan’s love of the piano started from an early age and lead him to study music in both Birmingham and Brussels. He’s since gone on to win the Nottingham National Jazz Piano Competition, receive airplay on Radio 2 and tour the UK’s jazz festivals, performing with some of the country’s finest musicians.

During his time in Brussels, Dan became hooked on the ‘European’ jazz sound which has given him a distinctive playing style that’s perfect for dinners and drinks receptions. His love of classical and jazz means he has an enviable repertoire of music to suit any occasion.

Dan is particularly imaginative, and Barras and Backman follow him at every twist and turn – but above all it’s the sense of collective purpose that comes across.

CD review, JAZZ UK

Here we got to see at last (Tina) May’s quiet, confident power, which was complimented perfectly by Dan on piano. He really came into his own in the second half.

Their rhythm section swung like crazy. Bassist Steve, drummer Eryl and outstanding young pianist Dan provided truly magnificent collective support and individual contributions. The club has asked them back for a gig next year.
