Search & Restore presents...the Kermit Driscoll Quartet and the Dan Weiss Trio at 45 Bleecker
Search & Restore is proud to present two incredible bands, The Kermit Driscoll Quartet and the Dan Weiss Trio.
Drummer Dan Weiss and bassist Kermit Driscoll are in constant demand as band members, due to their immense talent and supreme ability to contribute musically to a group sound. They work so often that it is rare to see them perform as band leaders and composers, so it seems appropriate that they should be leading their own bands together on the same bill. Kermit Driscoll was a mainstay in Bill Frisell's band for 10 years and his current quartet inlcudes with Kris Davis, Brooke Sofferman, and Terrence McManus. Dan Weiss has just released his newest album, a suite called Timshel, on Sunnyside Records, and his trio will be performing the suite in full at this show.

ABOUT DAN WEISS
Backed by his long-time trio mates, pianist Jacob Sacks and drummer Thomas Morgan, Weiss weaves elements of different compositional styles and knowledge of Indian rhythms into the language of jazz on his twelve-track CD to create something new and eternal, foreign and familiar. âEach piece in this record draws upon a specific inspiration which has captured my curiosity and imagination the last couple of years,â Weiss writes in the liner notes. âThe intention behind this record was to take the essence of each of these inspirations and to create a musical narrative. It is intended to be listened to as one piece, uninterrupted. While each piece is its own song, they each serve a larger purpose which is the suite.â
