Dan Pinto Current-Upcoming Music, Projects & Events

It's a good one! After 13 years , Dan has come back to his roots and released a Jazz-Rock Fusion mix of some of the most eclectic music that you'll ever hear. And with this new release, he brings a few very versatile and talented players to accompany him on several tracks. His guests include "Ivan Romero," an incredibly versatile and very talented guitarist, "Rhonda Schuster," a multi-award winning singer/songwriter and "John Asti," a seasoned pro veteran reeds player. Details about his musical guests can be found on the Anomalies Guest Page .

The new CD features TEN tracks, three of which were derived from works that Dan Pinto wrote many years ago but never officially released. The other six tracks are brand spankin new! The level of music and talent on this new CD is only matched by it's concept theme and package design for which many months of work were invested.

The cover, title, art design, illustrations and concept all center around the general theme of various Anomalies. Anomalies are best defined as being a deviation from the common type or rule. Someone or something abnormal, unusual or irregular. And as you will hear and see, there is nothing regular about any part of this new CD.

September, 2010... For those of you who are asking "When is Dan's new piano CD release going to be here," we thought we'd get you an update. Basically, Dan has been kind of busy! He's got about two thirds of the music complete, and the album cover and title designs are finished, but Dan has been side tracked with other work and wishes not to rush something out just for the sake of releasing material that is less that his best effort.
