BIO
Danny Burger, one of Rochester, New York’s finest, attended the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music and the Hochstein Conservatory. There is nothing that is mediocre about Danny. Playing music isn’t just what he does for a living, playing drums the way he plays them, tells you who he is. He plays every song with his whole heart and soul. Watching Danny play is more than a treat, it is an experience. Danny’s outstanding quickness, dexterity, professionalism and perfect time make him a musician’s – musician. Danny’s uniqueness is further displayed by a device he has named “Tompani”. He uses tubes that he blows into specially tuned drums to create variances in air pressure in his drums creating changes in tone.
Danny’s background and credits are impressive. He has played at Caesar’s Palace in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, and appeared on the Merv Griffin TV show, The Norway Jazz Cruise, Hollywood Jazz Festival, Hialeah Jazz Broadcast, QE II Jazz Cruise and an extensive European Jazz Tours. Danny has played with many of the great legendary musicians, including Flip Phillips, Dizzy Gillespie, Zoot Simms, Clark Terry, Scott Hamilton, Sonny Stitt, Harry “Sweets” Edison, Lockjaw Davis, Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, Jimmy McGriff, James Moody, Papa Lou Donaldson, Ira Sullivan, Frank Foster, Slide Hampton, Al Grey, Eddie Higgins, Turk Mauro, Bucky Pizzarelli, Ray Brown, Peter Appleyard, Jaco Pastorious, Milt Hinton, Dr. Lonnie Smith and many more. Danny has also accompanied great jazz singers, such as; Joe Williams, Billy Eckstein, Johnny Hartman, Mark Murphy, Giacomo Gates, Ernestine Anderson and Ertha Kitt. He has recorded with many musicians over the years, on many different labels, with Nicole Henry, Turk Mauro, Lou Donaldson, Jesse Jones Jr., Eric Allison, Eddie Higgins, just to name a few.
