Delbert Anderson Trio: Native American Jazz

Formed in the deserts of the Southwest United States DAT is a cutting edge jazz trio that combines modern funk and jazz with ancient indigenous melodies

Delbert Anderson:
Navajo jazz performer, Delbert Anderson began his jazz studies in 2004 at Eastern New Mexico University. Anderson studied with saxophonist Christopher Beaty and trumpeter John Kennedy. Delbert started the Delbert Anderson Trio in 2013 and has been performing throughout the states. Anderson was highly influenced by Lee Morgan, Clifford Brown, Sonny Rollins, and Joshua Redman. Anderson today takes lessons from trumpeters Mick Hesse and Bobby Shew. "I will continue to perform with our trio and begin to educate the youth on jazz. We need to keep this true American art form alive!"

Mike McCluhan:
Hailing from NY originally Mike has had a long career playing bass with literally countless artists. Drawing heavily from such varied musicians such as The Grateful Dead to Charles Mingus Mike is well known for his versatility and his innate ability to play any style of music and play it well. Mike provides a lot of the groove and feel for The DAT and is excited to get out and share their music!
