the Wynton Marsalis Quintet. He has performed and recorded with Jimmy
Cobb, Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, Renée Fleming, Houston Person,
Fareed Haque, George Benson, Lewis Nash, and many more. Dan has
released six of his own albums on the Venus label (Japan.)

as well as at many other venues worldwide. He is currently a member
of Roy Haynes’ Fountain of Youth band, as well as bassist with the
