Channeling the performative schools of Louis Prima, Little Richard, and Cab Calloway, Danny Lipsitz leads The Brass Tacks in a dynamic ride of hit mid 20th century music in spectacular style. A high-energy ensemble of world-class talent, The Brass Tacks expertly navigate swing, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, klezmer, jump blues, and traditional pop with Danny showcasing up to five instruments in a set. The captivating, feel-good music for people from all walks of life has earned the band a dedicated following. The band has enchanted audiences around the world at jazz clubs, performing arts centers, swing dance events, and festivals in both large configurations and as small as 4 pieces. A 14-piece version of the group headlined at Lincoln Center’s Summer For The City for an acclaimed night of ballroom dancing. A former beloved public school music teacher for 11 years, Danny developed a highly successful, standards-aligned curriculum about the saxophone in rock ‘n’ roll music, which The Brass Tacks have presented at countless schools in New York City.
