Hailed by The New York Times as one of the top five drummers in jazz, Dan Weiss’s innovative technique and forward–thinking compositions have been pushing musical limits for years. With his piano trio, he’s released the albums Now Yes When (2006) and Timshel (2011), both critically acclaimed for their unique approach to song structure and endless creative improvisation. Weiss also leads a sixteen–piece large ensemble that features some of New York’s most gifted musicians; this group’s two Pi Recordings CDs, Fourteen (2014) and Sixteen: Drummers Suite (2016), have placed high on multiple critics’ polls. This special evening at Jazz Standard features the Dan Weiss Trio with Dan’s peerless partners in sonic exploration, pianist Jacob Sacks and bassist Thomas Morgan. Forthcoming releases include New Trio Plus 1 recording with Sacks, Morgan, and bassist Eivind Opsvik; and a new duo recording by Dan Weiss with guitarist Miles Okazaki.
