Dan has played in many different bands in Florida. Most notably he has performed and recorded with The Sam Rivers Rivbea Orchestra. Now living in California, he is working with some big bands, jazz trios and his own rockin jazz projects.

These are all some fun shots from one of our Y2K trip to Milwaukee to perform at Summerfest. To your left, you'll see Mike, me and Vernay and if you put your mouse on it - you'll see me with a whacky Tim and Paul Roth hammin it up - I mean working...
