My name is Darin, I live in Duluth, Minnesota and I play guitar.
I play jazz because I love the rich harmony and driving rhythm. I am drawn to the technical challenge and expressive freedom of solo improvisation.
I play the standards because they’re great songs. They make up a common language which provides cultural context and meaning to my music. They are forms which provide a standard measure of musicianship. They are melodic.
Listen to some tunes here on my site and see me play live at any of the fine venues listed to the right.
See you at the show!
