All About Jazz

Dave Hanson is an arranger, composer, and pianist who has written for a diverse range of artists and ensembles, including Paul Winter with the Boston Pops, Pops Orchestra concerts with the Pittsburg, Houston, Milwaukee, Colorado, and New Jersey Symphony Orchestras, Denver Brass, and Boulder Brass, and is the Pianist/Co-leader and Arranger/Composer of the H2 Big Band, doing all the arrangements for the You're It and It Could Happen recordings, as well as Al Hood's Chamber Orchestra Just a Little Taste, and Jazz Muses recordings.

"Pulls out all the stops and is surely one of the most exhilarating big bands in recent history": from an International Trumpet Guild review. The H2 Big Band has soared in the Jazz Radio charts with a series of recordings, and has been featured in supportive and collaborative roles with Darius Rucker, Veronica Swift, Rene Marie, Take 6, Jon Faddis, Kevin Mahogany, Curtis Stigers, Clint Holmes, and Allan Harris.

Dave is recently retired from thirty-six years of teaching in the Jazz and Commercial Music Department at the Lamont School of Music, University of Denver. His music is published by Kakeda Music Publishing/ASCAP, Denver Brass Publications, Boulder Brass Publications, and Kendor Music.

Dave's first solo recording, Blues Sky, on Origin Records, will be released March 21, 2025.
