Daniel Glass Trio

Daniel Glass Trio

Jazz, Funk, Rock, Prog or Jam? The answer is YES!

Led by award-winning drummer, author, and educator Daniel Glass, this trio of New York City's best and baddest also includes Sean Harkness on guitar and Michael O'Brien on bass. The group's collective credits span an obscenely eclectic array of top-tier artists: Bette Midler, Gene Simmons, Brian Setzer, Royal Crown Revue, Trey Anastasio, Harry Connick Jr., Liza Minnelli, Jose Feliciano, Kathleen Turner, the Manhattan Transfer’s Janice Siegel, Mike Ness from Social Distortion and Countess Luann de Lesseps from the Real Housewives of New York.

In essence, these guys can play anything. And when they began working together in 2016, the power of three fused into a single musical vision that has been blowing the minds of audiences across the U.S. and Europe ever since. From intimate club gigs to festival stages, the Daniel Glass Trio will take you on a musical journey that is as infectious as it is unforgettable.

The group’s debut release - entitled "BAM!" - showcases a free-wheeling improvisational style that bounces between funk, rock, jazz and psychedelia. The repertoire includes a mixture of stellar original compositions and unexpected covers that bring a totally new perspective. The list includes “I Feel Free,” “Scarborough Fair,” “Let ‘Em In,” “Eyes of the World” and an eye-popping version of “Smoke On The Water” (yes, THAT "Smoke on the Water"). This band defies characterization! You just have to see it for yourself.

"This ensemble delivered a performance that was nothing short of mesmerizing. The evening was a thrilling journey through jazz, funk, and re-imagined classics, with each musician bringing his own brand of artistry to the forefront." — Times Square Chronicles

"The Daniel Glass Trio demonstrates that jazz and rock are inherently more alike than they are different. The trio draws on music from both sides of the aisle, and approaches all of it on a level playing field, without any kind of inherent bias." — Will Friedwald (Music Critic, The Wall Street Journal)
