Huge guitar tone!
I like the way you blend fusion jazz and hard rock. Great playing Steve
Brett Garsed:

Cheers,
Brett.

said: This is the second Album that I have mastered for Danny and WTF! This guys is off the planet! The band hits, Danny hits, the record hits! I want what he's having!
Danny, your playing and tone are Awesome, Badass.... Eric sagardia (vital Remains).
Amazing, Great!!!!!.....Jean Marc Belkadi (musicians Institute/Recording Artist).
Wow you guys, Great music all around, but the song, `Stain` is completely killer. Some of the best guitars we’ve heard in a long while which is very refreshing. Take care and all the very best from www.THEBEAT.fm Supporting Independent Music - In The Mix
Sep 30, 2007 9/29/2007: This is really great. A heavy rock backbone, surrounded by several tasty passages. I love instrumentals...all feelings and emotions are well translated by all players. So...no twerpy comments about no vocals from me. Give a listen to the Dixie Dregs (Steve Morse). These guys are excellent musicians... Cross over ? Hit potential ? Playing what you feel to the best of your ability is what it’s all about. Not catering to the media, and compromising ones vision. Success comes from the inside more often than the outside. I got respect for that... Scarry Garcia
Good fusion track really, good playing. It’s just not mainstream in any way. But a small group of more refined listeners will be thrilled. Armageddon
9/1/2007: Wooow...! Joe Satriani, Michael Schenker, Steve Vai - step aside.
This has so much power!! EricMendez
5/30/2007: Wow, that goes off like a rocket!
1/1/1900: Fans of Joe Satriani and co would love this! Very well played, boogies like Satch.
you do have to appreciate the paying here. There are some excellent guitar phrases, which sets it apart from the norm. Well played, well mixed. Nice one. KenMorrison
1/1/1900: An exciting piece of instrumental guitar rock that would fit any motor racing show. It has a clever time signature change in the middle 8 of the tune and reminded me a little of Jeff Beck at his most rockiest! Good job! Imirrorshow
9/15/2007: When this gets going, some dynamite playing is on display for sure, with both feet firmly in the Joe Satriani camp of shredism

Danny John Trio
Mr. Twister
Yesterday I had never even heard of Daniel John and today he is one of my favorite guitarists ever.
Danny grew up in Canberra, Australia. He picked up the guitar at age eight and taught himself to play. After gaining an enthusiastic response in Australia he dropped everything and moved to Hollywood where he attended Musicians Institute of Technology. After three years of studying and playing with the best he felt like he was ready. He moved back to Australia and played with the best musicians Australia has to offer.
His latest venture “The Danny John Trio” is Daniel John (Guitars); James Dennett (Drums) and Marcos Gil (Bass).
Their second album, Mr. Twister is ablaze with flashy, raucous, intense musical masterpieces. From the moment I hit play I was in guitar shredder heaven.
I hate it when guitar virtuosos put out albums with a bunch of singing with little guitar solos in-between. Mr. Twister delivers everything I ever wanted to hear on an instrumental guitar album. The shortest song is over 5 minutes long.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t just a bunch of heavy metal shredding for the sake of fitting as many notes into a measure as you can. No, each song on this album is a treasure trove of diverse styles, odd meters and vast dynamics, amazingly clean sweep picking, plus incredible bass and drum solos.
Mr. Twister starts out heavy with “Drift.” A lone distorted rhythm guitar progresses into a full out attack of guitar voodoo. It’s a nine minute song, but it never gets boring. “Would” rivals the group “The Mars Volta” for having the most genres in one song. The title track “Mr. Twister” is a lesson in playing in every meter except 4/4. “Lighthouse” makes a game of changing keys every two beats.
This album was recorded in 17 hours, but you would never guess. It’s a testament to the amazing talent of these artists. If they were painters this would be their Mona Lisa. If you are looking for a perfect Rock/ Jazz Fusion album, this is it. Look no further.
Key Tracks: Drift, Mr. Twister, Lighthouse
