Daniel Garbin - Rising (2025)

Guitarist and sitarist Daniel Garbin presents “Rising”, a jazz and world music fusion concert named after his new upcoming album.

Garbin’s music is a captivating blend of intricate rhythms, rich harmonies, and emotive storytelling with diverse influences. The title track features Garbin’s sitar—an instrument he fell in love with after a trip to India—which replaces his guitar and brings a fresh, organic sound to the jazz quintet. The rest of the program spans a wide range of musical styles, from the Latin and African grooves in “Rolling Hills” to the Brazilian and Cuban influences of “Simi’s Bossa” and “Anomisericordo.” Garbin also explores smooth-jazz funk in “DSD” and pays tribute to Joe Satriani in “Almost Forgotten – Like Satch.” The atmospheric “Into the Sunset,” with its Pat Metheny-inspired harmonies, offers a reflective and dramatic finish to the set.
