Mark catches up with ‘bonist Dan and discovers why he chose what he affectionately calls "the poor man’s trumpet”. After a brief Public Service Announcement on the perils of hearing loss and the hazards of band life, the two dive into Dan's musical journey, exploring his unconventional path to the trombone and the serendipitous twists and turns along the way. Prepare to be immersed in Dan's personal saga of grappling with "DYJO-LIMBO," a rite of passage familiar to many DJA members, as he navigates the ebbs and flows of musical identity.
With infectious enthusiasm, Dan shares his fondest memories of youthful musical escapades, including a triumphant performance at the illustrious Royal Albert Hall at the tender age of 15. He waxes poetic about the golden era of DYJA, fondly reminiscing about our beloved old haunt, The Jazz Centre. For Dan, being part of the "Golden Generation" of DYJA was nothing short of a stroke of luck (and some healthy parental intervention) - a cherished chapter in his musical odyssey that continues to shape his life to this day.
