DAN WEISS TRIO

Ars Nova Workshop presents the adventurous drummer Dan Weiss and his long-running trio with Jacob Sacks and Thomas Morgan at Solar Myth on September 18, 2023.

Drummer, composer and tabla player Dan Weiss has long been acclaimed as a startlingly original voice in modern jazz, stretching the music’s boundaries into the realms of contemporary classical, extreme metal, Indian music and progressive rock. But Weiss himself has never failed to acknowledge his wide-ranging influences and the jazz tradition in which his music remains rooted. With his latest album, Dedication, Weiss pays explicit homage to nine of his most vital inspirations, from musical and cinematic masters to loved ones and close collaborators, including Elvin Jones, Burt Bacharach, Conlon Nancarrow, and Andrei Tarkovsky. The album returns the drummer to his trio with pianist Jacob Sacks and bassist Thomas Morgan, who have worked together for over two decades.
