CALENDAR

OCTOBER 2026

1 - 4:  Dan will return for his fourth appearance at the Redwood Coast Music Festival in rustic Eureka, California. This great festival features a variety of music, from New Orleans-styled jazz to the 1930s "swing" style, to Western Swing, boogie-woogie, rockabilly, and rhythm and blues. Producer Mark Jansen knows who to call, and gets the best. Furthermore, his understanding of how to organize the event has made it one of the smoothest-running festivals anywhere on earth! 

The venues are "all over town," but Eureka is a small town, and there are many very convenient shuttles to and from the participating hotels. In addition to being a guest with friends' bands, Dan is excited to once again lead his "Old-Fashioned Jazz Band," and maybe lead a set with the band he calls the "Full Moon Orchestra."  If you put this one on your calendar, you're sure to have a great time.  rcmfest.org

22 - 25: Roswell Jazz Festival, Roswell, New Mexico

Please consider attending this unique jazz event in the charming town of Roswell. Somehow, jazz, and flying saucers, and extra-terrestrials all seem to be a good fit. You'll have a great time!

FEBRUARY 2027

19 - 21: The SAN DIEGO JAZZ PARTY!

Dan has been a part of his venerable jazz party for many years. He is proud to have been acknowledged as the SDJP's "Legend of Jazz" in 2020. 

The party has migrated to the Marriott Hotel in Mission Bay, so it is now even closer to the San Diego Airport. The line-up is a "Who's Who" of twenty (or so) of the finest jazz musicians performing in the "swinging" jazz style. Dancers are welcome. A highlight of the party is always Dan's big band, which he calls "The Stock Market."
