An established force on New York creative scene, Dan Loomis has emerged as a daring leader, a sought-after sideman, and a composer whose view of the world – and willingness to explore his own inner questioning – has led to the creation of innovative and moving works.
Loomis has produced nearly a dozen recordings with the Dan Loomis Quartet and with bands he co-leads, including the critically-acclaimed collectives SPOKE and The Wee Trio. He’s a regular member of The Joel Frahm Trio. As a composer, he has just released ‘Job’s Trials: a Jazz Song Cycle”.
