($15-$25 + DICE fees | 4:30pm Show) Come out for a special matinee performance with the Dan Weisselberg trio from NYC! Iftah Kary (piano) Dan Weisselberg (bass) Aleksi Heinola (drums)

Born and raised in Hofit, Israel, Dan started to show interest in music at the age of 12, when he picked up the electric bass. By the age of 16 Dan started to play professionally around Israel in various clubs and music venues. He also became a regular performer on national television, radio, and appeared in numerous jazz festivals, including the Red sea jazz festival in Eilat, the Caesarea jazz festival, and the Tel Aviv jazz festival to name a few.

Since moving to New-York City in late 2016, Dan have played with respected musicians such as Jimmy Cobb, Grant Stewart, Michael Kanan, Tardo Hammer, Joe Magnarelli, Frank Basile, John Webber, Chris Flory, Greg Ruggiero, and Zaid Nasser, with whom he plays on a regular basis.

His NYC-based trio draws inspiration from both the past and present, clearly influenced by the legends of the 1940s-1960s, such as Tadd Dameron, Joe Henderson, Benny Golson, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Ahmad Jamal, Bobby Timmons, and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, among others. At the same time, they are inspired by contemporary greats like Tardo Hammer, Joe Farnsworth’s Time to Swing, the 11th St. Bar Quintet, Grant Stewart, Michael Kanan, and more. Rather than limiting their sound to terms like “Hard-Bop,” “Be-Bop,” or “Modern Jazz,” the band’s music blends these styles with the Great American Songbook and classical influences. The result is a sound characterized by a strong swing feel, lyrical melodies, simple yet sophisticated harmonies, and dynamic communication between musicians.
