about

Deeply influenced by Chicago’s wealth of creativity, Daniel Thatcher’s ears&eyes Records release “Playing Favorites” is a solo bass homage to a handful of his closest musical colleagues.

Daniel is a singular Chicago-based bassist and composer, whose solid and supportive presence has been felt and heard among the city’s richly varied and vibrant musical communities for the last 10 years and counting. His sensibilities encompass the broader spectrum of traditional and modern music, which allows him to move freely between the worlds of jazz and improvised music, contemporary classical, ragtime, and experimental rock music.

He regularly performs and collaborates with many local greats such as Charles Rumback, Dave Miller, Caroline Davis, Marc Riordan, Tim Daisy, John Kregor, Tim Mulvenna, James Davis, Rob Clearfield, Jon Deitemyer, Jeb Bishop and many more. 



He has also had the opportunity to share the stage with the late Von Freeman and James Moody, Billy Hart, Dave Bryant, Steve Coleman, Danilo Perez, and Perry Robinson (alongside ears&eyes bassist and director, Matthew Golombisky, out on Cadence Records). 



Daniel has contributed his rich sound and composing voice to a number of unique groups, including: Leaves (Fresh Produce, Plustapes), The Marc Riordan Quartet, Two Aglets Jazzing, Beveled, The Ed Breazeale Group, Maurice (ears&eyes Records), Cameron Pfiffner's Marco Polo (Delmark), Diana and the Dishes, The Great Crush, as well as his own groups, The In Transition Quartet and Empty Step.
