Daniel Messina has performed worldwide to great acclaim. He performed with the World Famous Jazz Organist Barbara Dennerlein for nearly eleven years, and has released five CDs featuring his Latin Jazz compositions. He maintains an active performing schedule with many of Germany's best musicians.
Daniel Messina has long been a household name among German jazz fans. With his dynamic, highly musical and technically perfect playing style, the Argentine-born drummer has drummed his way into the hearts of numerous rhythm players with tours and CD recordings with Wolfgang Schmid, Barbara Dennerlein and Ernie Watts, for example. Those who have already experienced Daniel Messina live in concert will certainly be curious about the own music of this exceptional drummer from Argentina.
The homogeneous trio, which does not need to shy away from international comparison, interprets Messina's own compositions, which are modern but in the tradition of his country, in a lively, sensitive manner. With its melodious and powerful music, the trio brings to the audience the feelings and experiences of a musician of the new Argentine generation. "We give the best while doing what we really love. Our trio grows more into a unit in every concert".The trio around the drummer from Buenos Aires makes feelings audible, so to speak: from indulgence in melancholic moods to bursts of energy, from tango to modern jazz. The cult trio offers journeys through the exciting and rhythmically extraordinary musical world of South America.Daniel Messina's compositions captivate through the perfect arrangement, attuned to the two musicians at his side, who, despite their high level of concentration during difficult passages, one can see their enthusiasm. Their program is so versatile, and their mastery of their instruments so masterful, that you don't want to experience the three of them just once.
In Buenos Aires, music from all over the world comes together. The music of Argentine drummer Daniel Messina is also the result of a fusion of the most diverse styles. The trio succeeds in an innovative symbiosis of rhythms from South America (candombe, tango, chacarera, vidala, cueca, samba, salsa, etc..) with harmonies and influences of jazz. Modern piano jazz whose melancholic melody occasionally brings back memories of Keith Jarrett. Each song is a little story, a snapshot. www.danielmessina.de
