An underrated but consistently creative modern jazz pianist,
Harold Danko has been an asset to many sessions through the years. He graduated from Youngstown State University and played in big bands led by
Chet Baker,
Woody Herman, and
Thad Jones/
Mel Lewis, plus the combos of
Gerry Mulligan and
Lee Konitz and with his own groups.
Danko, who has been on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music and the New School, often teamed up with tenor saxophonist
Rich Perry in the 1990s. He has recorded as a leader for Inner City, Dreamstreet, Sunnyside, and SteepleChase. ~ Scott Yanow
