Dan Reinstein
American-born but British educated, saxophonist Dan Reinstein first began playing at the old 606 Club on Kings Road when he was a medical undergraduate. Even then he was impressive, and after taking time off from his medical studies to attend the Berklee School of Music he became even more remarkable. Dan returned to the US in the early 90s where he became one of the world’s leading experts in laser eye surgery (he’s now officially Professor Reinstein). But when he returned to London, it was great to hear his fluent, classic hard-bop, muscular sax playing again and the rest, as they say, is history-Dan & his quintet have performed here for the last 19 years.
For this special 606 show Dan's guest will be the iconic US pianist Kenny Werner. An artist of international renown, pianist Kenny’s cv includes work with a multitude of world-class musicians, including Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker & Joe Henderson. He is also the author of one of the most influential books on artistic performance written in the last 25 years, Effortless Mastery, Liberating the Master Musician Within. A rare chance to hear this remarkable musician in London!
