This performance used with permission from Dan Weiss. Three time Shifting Foundation grantee Dan Weiss has been hailed as one of the top five jazz drummers by The New York Times, and his large ensemble recording "Fourteen" made the top ten list of their best recordings of 2014. Weiss's innovative drumming and forward-thinking compositions have been pushing musical limits for decades. Weiss's intense study of jazz, classical Indian, contemporary classical, west African, and metal sets a musical platform that creates a sound that transcends conventional style or genre. His compositional trademarks are angular yet emotive melodies, complex through-composed drum parts, rhythmic cycles native to many non-western music, and melodic shapes drawing directly from the Raga System found in Indian classical music. Scaling down to a Trio Dan Weiss has released four albums, and this performance highlight's selections from the 2024 release Even Odds, which experiments with diverse approaches to composition and improvisation. Featuring Miguel Zenon on saxophone, Matt Mitchel on piano and Dan Weiss on drums, and from a May 4th, 2024 performance, it's the Dan Weiss Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.
