Daniel Sadownick: Jazz Musician in New York

About Daniel Sadownick

Daniel Sadownick is a New York–based percussionist working in jazz, with a bebop-leaning sense of time and phrasing. At The Django he leads the Daniel Sadownick Quintet, a five-piece group that treats rhythm as a structural element rather than mere accompaniment. Sets often move between tight unison figures, open solo space, and carefully controlled shifts in dynamics, with Sadownick steering the form from the kit. His playing favors precision and forward motion over display.
