Hi folks,

I'm very excited to have the chance to perform with this outstanding 
jazz trio. They played a great set at the Zeitgeist back in October, 
and I'm looking forward to adding video to their music on Dec 1.

Daniel Levin was born in 1974 in Burlington, Vermont. He began 
playing the cello at age six, and studied classical music intensively 
through adolescence. During this period he attended the Walnut Hill 
School for the Arts, the Mannes College of Music, and the New England 
Conservatory of Music. A chance experience improvising with a dancer 
at the New Arts Festival in Fort Meyers, Florida in the summer of 
1993 inspired him to alter his view of himself as a musician: not as 
an interpreter of the works of early European masters, but as a 
composer and improviser, who would create his own music, interpreting 
his experience of the world around him. Since then, he has had 
opportunities to work with many major improvisers and composers in 
the creative music world: Borah Bergman, Mark Dresser, Joe Morris, 
Rob Brown, Joe & Mat Maneri, Tim Berne, J.D. Parran, Warren Smith, 
Satoshi Takeishi, Joe McPhee, Joe Giardullo, Taylor Ho Bynum, Bhob 
Rainey, Tom Rainey, Roy Campbell, Frode Gjerstad, Sabir Mateen, Billy 
Bang, Jason Hwang, William Parker, and many others. Venues in which 
he has performed include The Vision Festival (NYC), The New Orleans 
Jazz Festival, JVC Jazz Festival (NYC), XM Satellite Radio, WGBH FM 
(Boston), The Knitting Factory, Tonic, CBGB's Gallery, The Brecht 
Forum, Cornelia Street Cafe, Barbes, Vision Club Series, and 
Roulette. Daniel has performed professionally in several other genres 
including: Klezmer music with Hankus Netsky, contemporary 
compositions for solo cello such as Joe Maneri's microtonal 
Sharafuddin bYah-Yah Maneri Makhdum Ul-Mulk, and large ensemble 
pieces, including Lou Harrison's Concerto for Violin, Piano, and 
Orchestra with the NYC-based Alarm Will Sound.

Alban Bailly's first adventure of music making began with rock in his 
native France. Music lessons with Eric Le Lann and Cesarius Alvim in 
Rennes opened him to jazz and free improvisation in the late 
nineties. Together with percussionist Loup Barraud, Alban formed 
Ghenso Project and the two traveled to Morocco to study Arabic music 
in 2001. Under the instruction of Marrakchi Master Mohammed El Quadi, 
Alban practiced classical guitar and oud. While attending Music 
Academy in Nancy, Alban came upon a world of free improvisation. 
Since 2002, he has collaborated and performed with Sebastien Coste, 
Camille Perrin, Louis-Michel Marion, Claire Cooper, Marit Schechte, 
Dominique Repecaud, Chris Heenan and many others. Performances at 
Musique Action festival, Theatre du Saulcy, MJC Lillebonne , France , 
Belgium and Germany . Newfound interest in gypsy jazz music, learned 
the gypsy music with gypsy local guitarists and founded the "Meri 
Wago" gypsy swing jazz trio. He continued his pursuit of eastern 
European music by playing traditional Balkan music in Novi Sad 
(Serbia). Alban landed in the USA in 2005 and now calls Philadelphia 
his home. He frequently performs with Jack Wright and plays actively 
with many musicians (Evan Lipson, Dave Smolen, John Berndt) and 
dancers (Nicole Bindler, Eun Jung Gonzales...) with the guitar or 
accordion.
