Daniel travels to gigs with numerous instruments. Here he is on trumpet.

Irrepressible Spirit 002

Yea, that's me. This is in 1982 at the Bennington College "Sun Fest". This was my first gig with Dennis and David Warren. Later we were to become the "Underground Voice Band".

Passport to Freedom 002

A memorable gig at the Old Office. The show featured Ravish Momin on drums, Danny Zanker on bass, Raqib Hassan on reeds, and Raquy Danziger on percussion. That's Sandra Catena as our featured belly dancer. I hope the put this concert out on c.d. soon.
