NEWS BIG NEWS! The first public reading of a RIPPED! will take place on Dec. 15 at the Players Theater, sponsored by Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU). Stay tuned for details!
The Primordial Jazz Funktet will be playing at Fat Cat on Nov 27 (the day after Thanksgiving). See Calendar page. New recordings of songs from Dan's musical, "RIPPED!" are posted on the Listen page.
PRIMORDIAL JAZZ FUNKTET released our first CD: We Are Here at Cachaca Jazz and Samba Club on January 15, 2009. Unfortunately, Cachaca closed soon afterwards. Watch for future engagements at other venues in Manhattan soon. CDs are available at iTunes.com for download for $10. If you would like a hard copy, please email. With domestic shipping, the CD is $15.
"RIPPED" --a new musical, a rewriting of the story of Rip Van Winkle, will be premiered sometime in 2009 or 2010. The story takes place in the Hudson Valley. When a carefree young man who is always in trouble with his wife volunteers for a mission in the American revolutionary war, he disappears for 20 years. What happens when he tries to return to his wife and home? Stay tuned!

I am pianist and music director on Broadway singer Devin Richard's CD, My Own Voice. I collaborated with Devin on most of the arrangements. It is a live recording of an outstanding performance at the Metropolitan Room. The CD includes Devin's version of my tune, Merry-Go-Round. Available on his website.
I am also pianist on a singer Ellynne Plotnick's CD, I Walk Alone. I also collaborated with her on arrangements and new tunes. In fact, we cowrote the title tune, among others. Available at CDBaby: Ellynne Plotnick: "I Walk Alone"
