!! New Album UNCLASSIFIED AFFECTIONS out on Pi Recordins 6.6.2025 !!!

Unclassified Affections is the entrancing new release from drummer and composer Dan Weiss that features the convergence of some of the most captivating musicians on the scene: Peter Evans on trumpet, Patricia Brennan on vibraphone, and Miles Okazaki on guitar. The music features intriguing orchestration, deep rhythmic textures and harmonic invention that makes full use of its unique instrumental combination. The compositions, which were written by Weiss specifically for these musicians, range from deep, meditative moments to intense, high-energy peaks, inhabiting a world of labyrinthine rhythms and delicately layered improvisation where the unusual musical palette contributes to an otherworldly sound universe.

“The musicianly game-lover Weiss keeps making unique contemporary sounds from the creative vicissitudes of mixing planning, intuition, and chance.” – John Fordham, Jazzwise

“Weiss has such a composerly way of organizing sound, so much attunement to harmony and synergy ... Bonkers!“ – The Gig, Nate Chinen
