Dan Meinhardt Music

Chicago-based saxophonist/composer Dan Meinhardt has established himself as an innovative and versatile musician in the city's diverse scene. Known for his "less-is-more maturity" and "advanced facility for composition" (SomethingElse Reviews), Dan's music is as inspired by indie rock and folk music as it is by classic jazz recordings. Due to the depth and breadth of his musical experiences, Dan has become a sought-after collaborator in and around Chicago.

Dan has grown comfortable leading his own projects (Gone West, Outset) as well as performing as a sideman (Michael Nearpass, Carl Kennedy). His compositions have been featured across the country and can be heard on two albums: Gone West, and the upcoming Outset (2016, ears&eyes Records).
