Experience Dan Nimmer Trio

Dan Nimmer Trio is a highly respected jazz ensemble led by pianist Dan Nimmer, a protégé of the legendary pianist Junior Mance. Nimmer began his professional career accompanying vocalists like Jon Hendricks and Sheila Jordan in the 1980s, quickly establishing himself as a masterful accompanist and improviser. He gained significant recognition as a long-standing member of the Tommy Flanagan Trio alongside bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash – a group considered one of the premier piano trios of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

The Dan Nimmer Trio carries forward that legacy, delivering swinging, hard-bop influenced jazz rooted in the tradition of Mance and Flanagan. Their style emphasizes interplay, melodic development, and rhythmic drive. The trio has released several albums as a unit on labels like Capri Records, consistently earning critical acclaim for their polished performances and Nimmer’s virtuosic playing. They frequently perform at major jazz festivals and clubs internationally, preserving and evolving the classic piano trio sound for contemporary audiences. Nimmer’s dedication to mentorship also extends to teaching, solidifying his influence within the jazz community.
