Daniel Inzani

Daniel Inzani is a composer, pianist and band leader based in Stroud, UK.

For the past 2 decades Inzani has performed with dozens of bands from Bristol’s underground alternative and avant-garde scene, blending classical, jazz, contemporary, improvisation, unusual harmony and rhythms as a band leader and collaborator.

He’s released an avant-garde collaborative album with Alabaster dePlume, is the musical director and arranger for Cosmo Sheldrake’s 19 piece live band, leads his own critically acclaimed modern chamber quartet Spindle Ensemble and (the now disbanded) 8 piece Ethiopian Jazz meets Frank Zappa group Tezeta. He has toured worldwide as a keys player, collaborated with Canadian ensembles Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan and London Symphonia and co-founded Bristol’s experimental collective Bloom, leading to tours and releases with UK rocksteady favourites Count Bobo, the psychedelic space doo-wop of Dubi Dolzcek and many more.

After years of recording, touring and eclectic composing he has gathered a trusted set of musicians who are both skilled improvisers and virtuoso players to record a large new body of work for release under his own name:

Selected Worlds, Daniel Inzani’s debut triple vinyl album, co-released by Hidden Notes Records and Tardigrade Records on 3rd September 2024.

“unhinged, exhilarating adventures in genre-hopping”
“There is a narrative logic to Inzani’s compositions that is compelling, heart-rending and gloriously disturbing”
