Danny Fox

Pianist-Composer

Danny Fox is a Manhattan-born, Brooklyn-based pianist and composer. After graduating with a degree in psychology from Harvard University, Danny moved back to NYC to study classical piano with John Kamitsuka. Since 2008 he has led the Danny Fox Trio which just released its fourth album Time Took Care of It. Revered for “changing the sound and expectation of a jazz piano trio (John Schaefer, WNYC’s New Sounds),” the Danny Fox Trio continues to push the boundaries of the classic piano trio format. Employing his long-time trio comprising bassist Chris van Voorst van Beest and drummer Max Goldman, the album showcases the group’s unique signature sound fueled by their wide-ranging interests in chamber music, bluegrass, and rhythm and blues, and anchored by their roots in jazz.
