On THE SONG IN OUR SOUL, THE PALOMAR TRIO harkens back to the early days of swing music with a trio recording of tunes that are mostly lesser known but nevertheless helped to usher in a new era.
The Palomar Trio comprises some of the top New York-based players who are aficionados of music from the 1920s and 30s. Saxophonist and clarinetist DAN LEVINSON has a 35-year career specializing in traditional jazz and swing music. The 2017 winner of Hot House Magazine’s “NYC Jazz Fans Decision” award for Best Clarinetist, he has performed with Mel Tormé, Wynton Marsalis, Dick Hyman, Bria Skonberg, Ed Polcer, Howard Alden, Jon-Erik Kellso, and many more prominent artists. He spearheaded the 2023 release Celebrating Bix! on Turtle Bay Records.
Pianist MARK SHANE had an extended tenure as house pianist in New York’s “Eddie Condon’s” jazz club. A soloist at major jazz festivals throughout the world, he has toured with the Smithsonian Jazz Repertory
Ensemble under the direction of Bob Wilber and was featured in the 50th Anniversary Benny Goodman memorial concert at Carnegie Hall. Among his many accomplishments are playing jazz piano for the Twyla Tharp Dance Company as well as for the Grammy-Award-winning soundtrack of the film “The Cotton Club.” Shane also played a Royal Command performance for HRH Princess Anne at London’s Festival Hall.
For many years, KEVIN DORN has been one of the busiest drummers in traditional jazz. Besides playing at numerous jazz festivals and jazz parties, including the JVC Jazz Festival, he has performed with top artists like Ken Peplowski, Warren Vaché, Harry Allen, Catherine Russell, Bob Wilber, Dick Hyman, Jon-Erik Kellso, and Vince Giordano, among many others.
