Dan Weiss: The Creative Absence of Egotism

Read "Dan Weiss: The Creative Absence of Egotism" reviewed by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

The first time drummer/composer Dan Weiss is heard, there can be a perception of something inherently wrong with the music. It slowly creeps up--like a chill on a cool morning, just as the sun is rising over a misty ridge. Waves of lush pastel colors pass over and around in impassioned washes of rhythm and elements ...
