Dan Waldman Quartet 'Sources & Angles' Album Compilation

Guitarist Dan Waldman has paid dues both in Europe and the USA, performing as a sideman with artists such as Jason Marshall, Soul Understated (Bean Clemons / Mavis Swan Poole), Frank Willams / Brotherhood of Breath, The Real Live Show / MC Malik Work, Grupo Lokito, Gnawa All Stars and Celestine - appearing on recordings released by Acid Jazz, Jazz Refreshed, Mark de Clive Lowe and more.

His 2020 debut release as leader  'Sources & Angles', featuring Will Vinson on sax, Kassa Overall on drums and Ryan Berg on bass received a 4 star review in Jazzwise magazine, international radio play and positive reviews elsewhere including The Times and on All About Jazz website.

Another recording made as leader, from 2008, entitled 'Greenpoint', again featuring Vinson on sax, with Matt Penman on bass and Bruce Cox on drums was released digitally soon after recording but had to be withdrawn following a miscrediting issue on Tunecore; this album was finally released in 2023.

"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
