Sam First

Dan Weiss & Miles Okazaki duo

Brooklyn-based Dan Weiss and Miles Okazaki both have extensive credits as composers and side projects. Performing as a duo for over two decades, their music ranges from tabla material that Weiss translated to drumset, to a wide range of materials from the albums that they worked on together.

Nov 11, 2023, 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM

Sam First, 6171 W Century Blvd #180, Los Angeles, CA 90045, USA

Dan Weiss (drums), Miles Okazaki (guitar)

Dan Weiss and Miles Okazaki have been performing as a duo for over two decades. They are based in Brooklyn, NY, and both have extensive credits as composers and side projects. In early years their repertoire was focused largely on Weiss' translations of tabla material to drumset, along with grooves devised by Okazaki. Gradually they incorporated a wide range of materials from the albums that they worked on together as well as covers and standards. In 2020, they started the Cygnus Recordings label, and released Music for Drums and Guitar, a double album of original music. This concert will feature music from this suite as well as more recent work.

“Both are absolute masters on their instruments . . . they are both deeply dedicated to realizing each other’s artistic visions.”

–The Paris Review

“composer-improvisers of absurdly expansive imaginative resources . . . a nearly telepathic rapport.”

-WBGO, “Take Five”

“a high-order musical brainteaser and a memento of a deep, longstanding mind-meld between these two”

-Hank Shteamer
