How Thoughtful -
Recorded entirely in a single afternoon, “How Thoughtful” represents an effort to record simple songs, in a simple way to embrace live collaboration of performed music! Featuring Daniel DeLorenzo (Guitar), Dave Lora (Bass) , and Doug Sours (Guitar). Written, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Daniel DeLorenzo.
SomeKindaStory -
2020 presented a unique opportunity to explore an album of “less than live” solo performances and thematic compositions. The “Standards” on this album have been long-time repertoire pieces that hold some closeness to me. These recordings speak to an attempt to use my voice to balance the "live" approach essential to improvised music with having to perform in isolation. The album also explores thematic composition with original pieces influenced by film and dramatic music. Performed and recorded by Daniel DeLorenzo, featuring Jonathan Wiseman (trumpet).
“K.BYE” marks a return to collaborative recording, emphasis on communicative performance and embracing distinction for Daniel DeLorenzo. The album consists of eight original compositions and a rendition of the Miles Davis standard “Nardis”. Featuring performances by Daniel DeLorenzo (guitar), Gaston Reggio (drums), Robbie Link (bass) and Ben Lassiter (additional guitar on “Flora”).
Strive -
Blending the rich traditions of jazz guitar with a healthy dose of modern sensibilities “Strive” represents the culmination of efforts to make a traditional jazz recording with a contemporary voice. “Strive” features five original compositions and two arrangements bridging symphonic music with a jazz combo. Featuring: Daniel DeLorenzo (guitar), Theous Jones (drums), Dave Lora (bass), and Doug Sours (additional guitar, tracks 3&7).
Daniel DeLorenzo Trio -
A casual get together of friends jamming on standards captured on record. Featuring: Daniel DeLorenzo (guitar), Theous Jones (drums), Able Jones (organ), and Doug Sours (additional guitar, tracks 4&7).
