Jay Danley has been a professional musician for over thirty years and has played a wide variety of music. His progressive rock collaboration with Derek Wylie, "Connections", was called "...a varied and mature album of thoughtful and contemplative music that connects with you on a cerebral level."(M. Hutchinson, ProgRadar). Danley's latest release is called "Great Googly Moogly! Music Inspired By Frank Zappa". It is available on all streaming platforms.

Thank you for the suggestion! Do you think you could supply us with an artist image to use on the page, and maybe expand on the biography a bit? Thanks in advance!

Sure! Can you tell me how to post an image please? Here is the expanded bio: "Canadian recording artist Jay Danley is a world-class session musician who contributed instrumentally
to multiple Juno award-nominated records (Hilario Duran) and is the featured guitarist on the Juno award-winning (Julian Fauth), blues album of the year release. He has performed with a multitude of legendary musicians from around the world. His coveted tenure with British–Canadian jazz vibraphonist, percussionist, and composer Peter Appleyard is a memorable chapter is in his storied career, along with performances with primary members of Buena Vista Social Club and Salsa star Oscar D'León, to name a few. Danley is recognized as one of Canada’s leading Jazz and Latin multi-instrumentalist musicians/composers, who as band leader delivered many memorable performances, at the highly acclaimed “Beaches International Jazz Festival,” performed at Toronto’s legendary Massey Hall and graced the stage at the “Barbados Jazz Festival.” Known as the creator of his own compelling style of “Ethiojazz,” Jay was selected by the “Ontario Arts Council,” in a rigorous juried competition, to receive funds to create his current album release titled "Ethiojazz Volume 1." The album contains memorable melodies, themes and incredible performances, showcasing tracks that flow from high energy dance music to sweet ballads. A definitive record that captures the true essence of Ethiojazz. His latest album is“Great Googly Moogly! Music Inspired By Frank Zappa” His unique stylings are warming the hearts of Jazz fans at numerus concert performances on the Jazz circuit, with some of the most sough-after session players in the region. The group leaves audiences in awe of the Danley trademark fusion of genres, that are a melting pot of five tone scaling Ethiopian Jazz, ‘70’s Soul, World-Jazz Fusion, Afro-Funk and Afro-Cuban music.

In 2020 Danley moved to the remote village of Kaslo, B.C., where he continues to write, record and produce his music. He has assembled a team of respected industry professionals, that will contribute to an increased level of success, that this ground-breaking recording artist deserves …" |

Have a look here Jay, and see if that helps. Otherwise just post the link to your image here, and the team that eventually adds you will grab the image from that when the time comes.

You have actually been cleared in Jazz Rock/Fusion, but the team is having difficulty completing the addition due to lack of information about who played what on most of your albums. Two of the albums are reviewed on the 'All About Jazz' website with details of the musicians involved, but apart from 'Robicheux', there is no line-up info available as far as I can tell for any of the albums that are on Bandcamp. Could you possibly provide the details of who played what on those albums, so that your page can be finished off?

Absolutely, that's easy! On "Ethiojazz Volume One" the lineup is: Jay Danley: guitar/composer; Elena Kapeleris: saxophone; Chris Gale: saxophone; Alexander Brown: trumpet; Max
Senitt: drums; Adam Hay: percussion; Tyler Emond: bass; Hilario Duran: Piano; Rich Brown: bass. On "Rotman's Hat Shop" (by The Hogtown Syncopators): Jay Danley: guitar; Drew Jurecka: violin, clarinet; Terra Hazelton: vocals; Richard Whiteman: piano; James Thomson: bass On "Connections" by Danley/Wylie I play all the instruments (guitar, bass, drums, keys, soundscapes) and Derek Wylie plays guitar. On all other recordings except "Robicheaux" I play all the instruments (guitars, bass, drums, percussion, horns, and orchestral instruments, done using software). On the latest recording "Great Googly Moogly! Music Inspired By Frank Zappa" I played all the instruments. This is the album I would love to have reviewed by someone from Prog Archives because i feel that the writers on this site would have the most sympathetic and open ears to this kind of music. Thank you for reading all this and your help!
