a fresh mix of improvisation, electronics, driving grooves and cinematic textures.
Each of these Denver-based musicians brings a different set of influences to DARUMA. Drummer Shane Dahler spent time in Trinidad playing with Siparia Deltones– so he brings a bit of Caribbean style. Zach Rich, the trombonist, is a very studied jazz composer. Saxophonist Gabriel Mininberg adds his love of film music and progressive rock. All different voices but all firmly rooted in jazz. Together they form the band's unique sound– a broad sonic terrain, marrying tradition with forward-thinking contemporary music.
DARUMA was recently named 2025 Creative Capital finalist and won the 2024 South Arts Jazz Road touring grant, supported by the National
Endowment for the Arts, the Mellon Foundation, and the Doris Duke Foundation. They have performed throughout the US and have been featured on NPR, PBS, and CBS broadcast TV. Members of the band have performed with leading voices in contemporary music including Billy Childs, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Action Bronson, Big Gigantic, Tia Fuller, and Theo Croker at notable venues including Birdland, the Blue Note Amsterdam, Dodger Stadium, Red Rocks Amphitheater, and have won ASCAP and Downbeat awards. The band will release a studio album with Monk Music Group in 2025. DARUMA will play for us at Daleee in advance of their Euro tour this summer. Come and get it!
