Dan Freedman New York Guitarist Busy On the Music Scene



New York based guitarist Dan Freedman has been quite busy lately. While maintaining a busy performance schedule, Dan also makes time for private music instruction. Along with playing solo in and around New York City and Long Island, Dan fronts his own group "The D.F. Project", plays bass guitar in several bands and still has time to go out fishing on his boat. "It's a lot of fun and very satisfying to me to be able to get out there and make some good music."

Handling both roles as a guitarist and bassist seems to come easy to Dan. "I love playing music and right now I have an opportunity to play the bass also, so I'm taking advantage of that." Trained as a guitarist, he picked up the bass about 7 years ago. "I've been playing the guitar for about 20 years now and I originally picked up the bass so I could get more gigs and sure enough that has happened."

" I love playing Jazz so I play in a trio and we do all the standards. It's great to be able to play different styles and incorporate that into your original material. Right now my mind has so many ideas going on musically, it sometimes feels like a constant symphony in my head."
   
Growing up in Long Island originally, Dan relocated back to NY just two weeks before 9-11. "It was startling coming back to New York and this happening. Not only was I experiencing culture shock being out in Colorado for about six years, but the whole thing just blew everyone away." It was at that time he started his own group "The D.F. Project". Since then, the band has gone through some lineup changes and has its first show in some time scheduled for October in Long Island.

Plans for the future include a west coast tour with a stop in Los Angeles and also a trip back down to New Orleans for a tour with "The Boulevards" the Louisiana based jazz and blues band. Dan also plans on doing some recording for an upcoming cd.
