Biography
Panamanian pianist and composer Danilo Pérez is a leader in a new generation of jazz musicians. An innovative and immensely talented player with a sophisticated grasp of jazz traditions, Danilo is never content to simply rehash the music of earlier masters. By combining distinctive Latin rhythms with his abiding love for jazz, he’s earned a reputation as an artist who transcends conventional definitions of jazz. A dynamic force intent upon moving the music several steps forward, Danilo Pérez has already left a remarkably fresh imprint on contemporary music.
Universal acclaim for Danilo began with the 1994 release of The Journey, his second Novus recording, widely acknowledged as his breakthrough album. Panamonk, Danilo’s 1996 debut on the Impulse! label, attracted even more attention. This irrepressibly spunky, yet highly polished, reinterpretation of Thelonious Monk’s music secured Danilo’s place as an outstanding player and original composer. The GRAMMY®-nominated Central Avenue (Impulse!, 1998), showcased Danilo’s compositional prowess, kinetic technique, and a broad diversity of styles, while fully embracing his Panamanian roots. Danilo makes his debut on the legendary Verve label with 2000’s Motherland, a heartfelt homage to the music of the Americas. The record, which focuses on the roots of Panamanian music as well as American, European, African, and Native Indian heritages, find the peerless pianist capturing the essence of America’s complex personality through a masterful blend of musical elements.
