Dave Brubeck
Innovative Jazz Pianist, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner
"At an early age he has “done it all” - that is, studied classical piano as well as jazz, composed and recorded original music, played in various styles from jazz to show tunes to alternative rock; and what I admire most of all, he has shared that talent with others by performing for the elderly, teaching younger children, and participating in all kinds of musical activities in his school. I can’t imagine a more deserving recipient of the Brubeck scholarship." – Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, Dave Brubeck

“Danny is not just a great piano player with an amazing ear but also a great person. He is always aware on how to interact with artists from all walks of life - I have seen this first hand when Danny is with me in a writing session with a top 40 pop artist or when he is on the podium conducting a string ensemble executing compositions for someone's record. His emotional intelligence is also unprecedented in his ability to make any artist feel comfortable even only after knowing them for five minutes, whether they are rappers from Chicago south side or and opera singer from Juilliard.”
