+ Support
Wednesday 26th November
The Jam Jar, Bristol

Self-taught pianist and composer Daniel Inzani has been a pivotal figure on the Bristol alternative music scene for more than a decade. He leads a neoclassical chamber quartet Spindle Ensemble, co-curates Hidden Notes Festival in Stroud, and he’s worked with a baffling array of outfits, playing Ethiopian funk, Indonesian gamelan, rocksteady, 1950s-style exotica and post rock, as well as working closely with fellow maverick musicians Alabaster dePlume and Cosmo Sheldrake.
His assorted projects have led to a prolific discography, performances worldwide and a singular compositional voice; born from extensive experimentation with live ensembles and his idiosyncratic approach to music theory, informed by his studies of mathematics and passion for impressionist era music.

After 2 decades of recording, touring and composing as a collaborator and band leader, he gathered a trusted set of skilled improvisers and virtuoso players to record his first major solo release Selected Worlds, exploring the very different sides to his musical personality across 3 contrasting but connected vinyl LPs. The critically acclaimed triple album was co-released by Hidden Notes Records and Tardigrade Records in September 2024, receiving a 5 star review in The Guardian where it was listed as the contemporary album of the month.

Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
