Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Multi-Instrumentalist, Composer, Performer & Educator Dan Blake .. He talked with us about his latest 2021 CD Da Fe and his life in music .. This Brooklyn-based artist has had a wide-ranging career working with great artists as different as avant guru Anthony Braxton and Grammy-winning jazz-pop star Esperanza Spalding .. He grew up in the northern New Jersey town of Fairfield and started out on piano, switching to saxophone at 10. He started playing seriously in his mid-teens, when he had his own jazz band. As a sixth-grader, he was momentarily turned off to jazz when he went to a record store looking for a kind of starter album and ended up taking home John Coltrane’s fiercely modern “Meditations” .. Get to know him and dig this interview.
