37TH ANNUAL CATALINA ISLAND JAZZTRAX FESTIVAL

Dan Siegel performing live.

Known for his sophisticated blend of smooth jazz, fusion, and classical influences, Siegel has consistently made music on his own terms. His latest piece, "Before I Go," serves as both a culmination of his life's work and a reflective look back at his extensive musical journey.

A Journey Through Music

Dan Siegel's career is a testament to perseverance and artistic integrity. Navigating the ever-changing landscape of the music industry hasn't been easy. He often had to make practical choices to sustain himself and his family, all while staying true to his artistic vision. "Jazz is an art form that must be appreciated and rewarded," Siegel has noted. "Too often, creators are not properly compensated for their work."
