Dan Magay.

Dan leads and lends his horns to bands across the Bay - his own Windup and Magay trios, hot-club gypsy jazz, funk and Motown horn sections, and seats in the Fil Lorenz and Marcus Shelby orchestras. From Northsix in Williamsburg with Marc Ribot to European and Japan tours, the Monterey Jazz Festival Big Band, and the Burning Man Jazz Café.

His downtown-New York trio The Hub recorded three albums, including Trucker for Innova Recordings - cut live-to-tape in Brooklyn. The critics: “curling his sinewy lines that refuse to be intimidated” (The Guardian); “a conversational approach to the alto very akin to that of Eric Dolphy” (Jazzwise).

He plays concert halls, festivals, wine bars, museums and galleries, weddings and house shows - and builds the band to the space, from a clarinet duo at low volume to a horn-driven quartet. New dates are posted on Facebook.

Standards and originals, for a bar that listens. Bossa and choro to open, something louder to close.

Loud enough for a field: hot-club swing, Motown and free jazz. The résumé includes the Monterey Jazz Festival Big Band and the Burning Man Jazz Café.

Free improvisation for the room and the work on its walls. Winds with bass or guitar, quiet enough to talk over. For openings, residencies and late nights.
