Dan Weisselberg

Dan Weisselberg is a contemporary straight-ahead jazz bassist whose work centers on the Great American Songbook, bebop and hard bop. He plays with a deep, warm acoustic sound, using gut strings and a clear, supportive beat. Originally from Israel and based in Brooklyn, he has performed regularly with Grant Stewart, Michael Kanan, Tardo Hammer, Joe Magnarelli, Frank Basile, John Webber and Chris Flory.

Weisselberg’s approach draws on bassists including Oscar Pettiford, Ray Brown, Paul Chambers, Bob Cranshaw and Ron Carter, alongside Pat O’Leary, Ari Roland, Neal Miner, Tyler Mitchel and Neal Caine.
