Funky Soul-Jazz a la Grant Green / Jimmy Smith / Func Inc / The Meters.
Dan Waldman honed his jazz guitar chops on the vibrant New York scene. He is joined tonight by well-respected Bristolian funkateers John-Paul Gard on Hammond organ and John Whitfield on drums.
"Waldman’s playing has echoes of influences from Grant Green to Jim Mullen to the gentler side of John McLaughlin. It’s jazz close to the cutting edge but with a warm, soulful core." John Bungey London Jazz News
"The British guitarist Dan Waldman evaded the pull of European introspection by emigrating to New York... he swings intensely... Waldman is a sly, intricate composer..." Chris Pearson The Times
