No mean feat and endless hours of practice and deep listening, and physical practice at the piano.
However I decided to take a much needed break and to listen to something completely different, and what a pleasant surprise that turned out to be.
I have always been aware of Dan Siegel through the years and I often regarded him as a talent that deserves much wider recognition. A real dark horse waiting in the musical wings..
Vic Firth headphones on and BOOM what a fresh, lovely sound with impeccable production value.
Dan Sigel's latest album Unity is a vibrant and dynamic addition to his already extensive discography. Set for release in August 2024, Unity features a stellar line up of A tier musicians Including bassist DJ Ginyard and the superb Oscar Seaton on the drums and the venerable Lenny Castro on percussion. Together, they lay down an enthusiastic, tight, energetic groove heavy foundation on which to build the superb music into its final offering.
The rest of the cast aside from the guitar showcase artists are the incredible Tom Scott on Saxophone, Aaron Janik on Trumpet, Andy Martin on Trombone, Alan Kaplan - Line of Sight Trombone, Stan Martin - Line of Sight Fluegelhorn,
