Dan Barrett

Redwood Coast Music Festival

Outside of swing dance events, gigs at music festivals are rare, much less one where I’m named on the poster! I’m delighted to be performing at the 2026 Redwood Coast Music Festival, with bands led by Josh Collazo, Hal Smith, Dan Barrett, and Dave Stuckey, as well as leading a set of danceable tunes under the auspices of Laura Loves Pockets Jazz Band (IYKYK) the weekend of October 1-4, 2026. This will be my first time in Eureka, California and I hear it’s a beautiful place with lots of Victorian homes. Sounds like the perfect start to October!

Chick Webb Night Live Stream Recording

Here it is, 3 sets (and two encores!) of Chick Webb music in all its glory at Lindy Focus 2016! As with any tribute, we hope that the band was able to capture the magic of a night at the Savoy Ballroom, with the most famous of the Savoy’s house bands. Much love to everyone who contributed to the transcription project to make this dream a reality!

Transcriptions by Mark Lopeman, Dan Barrett, and Keenan McKenzie. Performed by the Jonathan Stout Lindy Focus All-Star Orchestra, with Jonathan Stout (guitar), Chris Dawson (piano), Marquis Howell (bass), Josh Collazo (drums), Gordon Au (trumpet), Ken McGee (trumpet), Jon-Erik Kellso (trumpet), Lucian Cobb (trombone), Dan Barrett (trombone), Albert Alva (reeds), Dan Levinson (reeds), Jonathan Doyle (reeds), Keenan McKenzie (reeds), and Laura Windley (vocals).
