about

"Storyteller" is bassist and composer Dan Montgomery's debut album. It is also the debut of his group, the Dan Montgomery Quintet, which was formed at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music (Miami, FL) in the fall of 2016. Dan has always had a deep passion for storytelling, both literally and musically, and this album is a testament to that.

About the composer:

Dan Montgomery is an upright/electric bassist, vocalist, composer, bandleader and educator. He has performed with many incredible musicians, including Ari Hoenig, Troy Roberts, Ignacio Berroa, Remy Le Boeuf, Shelly Berg, Melvin Butler and Martin Bejerano, among others. He recently performed at the Newport Jazz Festival with the Ben Morris Quintet (2019), received the Pathways to Jazz Grant from the Boulder County Arts Alliance (2019), and placed third in the International Society of Bassists Jazz Competition (2017). His debut album "Storyteller" received a 4.5/5 star review from "All About Jazz," being called a "brash, audacious offering of classic modern jazz."
