Press Quotes
“Weiss’s second album delivers on so many levels. What sets this apart is his ability to compose brilliant guitar driven fusion while also breathing new life into such a well-trodden standard as Eddie Harris’ ‘Freedom Jazz Dance.’ Particularly impressive are drummer Sharon Petrover and keys player Yaniv Taubenhouse. If guitar-led fusion is your thing, this is a beacon in an overcrowded field.”
— Mike Chadwick, Jazzwise (October 2024)
(Mentioned in an article alongside Gary Husband, Hadrien Feraud, and Tribal Tech’s Scott Kinsey.)
“Some people are great musicians and other people are great teachers, but you, my friend have both skills and I really appreciate it”
— Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension)
“Daniel’s album portrays a majestic elegance which provides an enchanting appeal… and manages to feel fresh at all times.”
— DPRP.net (Owen Davies)
“Great playing and songwriting, and a knack for making the complex seem effortless — a welcome addition for any jazz-rock fusion fan.”
— Premier Guitar (review of The Vortex)
“Highlights include the Frisell‑esque ‘Back Home’ and the tightly paired guitar/saxophone line on ‘Toothpick.’”
— Jazz Journal (Marian Jago)
“Honestly, you can tell this is intricate, but it is so easy to listen and enjoy.” (review of The Vortex)
— Sea of Tranquility
“Jazz‑Prog‑Fusion ‘Dive’ moves fluidly from morale‑boosting up‑tempo numbers to heart‑tugging ambient ballads.”
— Tolita’s Musings (blog review)
“Not just another show — it’s an evening where the music breaks boundaries, connecting soul to strings and rhythm, and draws you into a world where every sound tells a story.”
— Beit HaYotzer / ACUM
“In a perfect world, a band as musically talented as this would be quite famous and popular… These guys are every bit as talented as The Aristocrats.”
— Progressive Music Planet
“In Daniel’s work, you can really feel the amount of dedication and time he put into it. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the good stuff.”
