Many of you know Daniel Glass as the long-time Monday night house drummer with Jim Caruso’s Cast Party. Now, join Daniel as he returns to the Birdland Theater as a leader with a powerful new trio show and some special guests.

With a musical career spanning more than 30 years, Daniel Glass has established an impeccable resume as an award-winning drummer, author, historian and educator. He first came to prominence in 1994 as a member of Royal Crown Revue, the pioneering swing group whose appearances in the Jim Carrey blockbuster The Mask (1994) and Jon Favreau’s Swingers (1996) kicked off a worldwide resurgence of swing. Daniel’s twenty year run with RCR included 10 albums, countless world tours and collaborations with everyone from James Brown to the B52s.
As a sideman, Daniel has recorded and performed with a wildly diverse group of top artists that includes Bette Midler, Brian Setzer, Jose Feliciano, Marilyn Maye, Linda Lavin, Freddy Cole, Gunhild Carling, Max Von Essen, Laura Benanti, Michelle Shocked, Air Supply’s Graham Russell, the Hot Sardines, the Budapest Jazz Orchestra, Luann De Lesseps from the Real Housewives of New York, and KISS front man Gene Simmons. For two years running, Daniel was voted one of the top five R&B drummers in the world by readers of Modern Drummer and DRUM magazine. And since 2011, he’s been the house drummer every Monday night at the world-famous Birdland Jazz Club in New York City.
In addition to his performance credits, Daniel is also a highly respected educator, widely recognized as an authority on classic American drumming and the evolution of American Popular Music. Daniel has published five books and three DVDs, including the award-winning titles The Century Project, The Roots of Rock Drumming, and The Commandments of Early Rhythm and Blues Drumming. He is a regular contributor to publications like Modern Drummer, DRUM and Classic Drummer. He has performed hundreds of clinics and master classes globally, appearing at many of the world’s top educational conferences and music festivals. Since 2016, Daniel has hosted an annual 4-day Jazz Intensive in New York City, which draws an international student base. In 2021, he premiered the inaugural Daniel Glass European Jazz Intensive in Frankfurt, Germany. That same year, Daniel launched DrummingInMotion.com, an online school that features a series of highly popular online courses and career coaching.
