Dan Liparini Trio
Dan
Liparini is a guitarist, composer, and arranger based in Hartford, CT.
As a student at the Hartt School of Music he had the opportunity to
study with Steve Davis, Nat Reeves, Rene McLean, Chris Casey, Rich
Goldstein and other great musicians. Since graduating in 2013 he has
stayed busy as a sideman in a number of bands, playing everything from
Latin-Jazz to R&B and Folk. As a leader and a sideman he has
performed at venues across the Northeast including the Sidedoor Jazz
Club, Infinity Music Hall, Bowery Electric, Pianos, Nectars and many others.
His
music is based in the tradition of the guitar trio but also draws
influence from blues, rock and electronic music; a crossroads where the music of Thelonious Monk and Jim Hall meets the music of The Beatles and Radiohead. The music
is tied together through its simplicity, and the trio uses each song as
a template to explore different sounds and textures.
