Chicago area native Dan Cray is perhaps best known as leader of the Dan Cray Trio. In an era when jazz gigs are hard to come by and musicians gravitate toward whatever opportunities come their way, the trio was a part of the Chicago jazz scene for a remarkable 10 years. Cray has spent the past three years in New York, both woodshedding and pursuing a steady performance opportunity, preferably as a sideman with a jazz master.
