reviews:
“…masterful improvisation…full of interesting musical concepts…”AllAboutJazz“Substantial and engaging” American Music Guide
“…ensemble interaction creates a unique sound…”AllAboutJazz
“Cerebral/visceral music…”Cadence
“…creative player; beautiful melodies, chords, and textures.” Mixx Magazine
“Dan’s music is full of energy and lyricism. He is truly an individual voice among improvising musicians.” Paul Bley
“Here and elsewhere, Herbie Hancock‘s imprint is obvious, as is a strong western classicism. This is not to suggest that DeChellis is simply channeling Hancock, but more a matter of building his own unique voice through the iconic pianist’s influence.” AllAboutJazz
