Hailed as one of the top five jazz drummers by The New York Times, Dan Weiss’s forward-thinking compositions and innovative playing have pushed musical limits for years. Starebaby is the heavy, gnarly culmination of Weiss’s dream to bring together some of his most accomplished contemporaries to play music that combines the freedom of jazz with the sonic powers of heavy metal and electronic new music. With creative giants Craig Taborn and Matt Mitchell keyboards/electronics, guitarist Ben Monder, and bassist Trevor Dunn, Starebaby surges to thundering, foreboding doom before tempering to quiet reflection, occupying a rare space where brutal aggression meets ghostly vulnerability.
