The Daniel Glass Trio is a professional New York City-based ensemble led by award-winning, drummer, author and educator Daniel Glass. Collectively, the band members have performed and recorded with an incredible array of top tier artists, including Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli, Brian Setzer, Harry Connick Jr., Freddy Cole, Ruben Blades, Jason Marsalis, Kathleen Turner, Lucy Arnaz and even KISS front man Gene Simmons.
The group, which has been together since 2016, shares an eclectic orientation that covers a wide variety of styles and genres. Employing a hard-driving sound and a free-wheeling style of improvisation, the DGT offers a stellar mix of originals and unexpected covers, always in its own unique style.
From BroadwayWorld.com: The Daniel Glass Trio - featuring three of the busiest and most prolific musicians on the New York jazz scene: Daniel Glass on drums, Sean Harkness on guitar and Michael O'Brien on bass - have created a virtuosic sound that is infectious, fun and incredibly entertaining.
With both a keen respect for musical history and a bent toward the innovative and adventurous, the group's latest recording (entitled BAM!) never lets the listener get too comfortable in their stylistic expectations, but always provides very satisfying twists and turns. BAM! features both original tunes from the band and eclectic reinventions, from the timeless standard "It Could Happen To You" to Deep Purple's rock classic "Smoke on the Water."
Listen to BAM! now on your favorite streaming platform.
