Sweet Spot

Danny Weis
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

In 1963, Danny Weis co-founded the classic rock group Iron Butterfly in San Diego, California. On Sweet Spot, his first solo album, Danny lays down his signature funky guitar licks over original fusion, smooth jazz and R&B instrumental compositions. Recorded with care at Phase One Studios in Toronto, Sweet Spot delivers a compelling, dynamic musical listening experience. Sheldon T. Nunn at JazzReview.com enthused, "Coming from a 60s-era stylized rocker, Danny Weis has stymied many of his contemporaries with this augmented jazz release. In spite of any skepticism one may for a former rocker turned jazz artist, Sweet Spot is all of that and a whole lot more. When examining the full array of what this recording has to offer, this album is definitely worth a listen. My only hope is that Danny did not put all of his inspiration on one 16-track release. The excitement he has generated with this debut solo effort should not hold his fan base hostage for to long waiting for his next release."
