For many years one of the best-known drummers in Jazz and Jazz Fusion, Danny has performed with world - acclaimed artists like Sting, Pat Metheny, Gil Evans, John McLaughlin, Stan Getz and Al DeMeola. A past winner of Modern Drummer's readers' poll as best electric jazz drummer, Danny has been featured on the covers of Down Beat and Modern Drummer. Growing up in New Jersey, he studied with the legendary drummers Joe Morello and Mel Lewis. After graduating from the University of Miami, he joined Pat Metheny's original group that featured bassist Mark Egan and keyboardist Lyle Mays. In 1982 Danny and Mark formed their own group, Elements. Today, after 10 albums, Elements continues to record and perform. Also in the 80's, Danny joined the legendary Gil Evans Orchestra where he and Pete Levin first played together. For years they performed at the group's famous Monday-night engagements at Sweet Basil in New York, toured and performed on live recordings with the band. Danny has recorded two solo albums for Atlantic, AQUAMARINE and WHIRLWIND. Currently he keeps a busy schedule as a studio sideman and drum clinician while touring with Elements and the Blues Brothers.
A flexible and talented drummer, Danny Gottlieb studied with Mel Lewis and Joe Morello. After graduating from the University of Miami (1975), he did session work in the Miami Beach area. Gottlieb joined Gary Burton's Quartet (1976) at a period when Pat Metheny was the guitarist. When Metheny soon formed his group, Gottlieb became a charter member (1977-1983). In 1981, he teamed up with Metheny's bassist Mark Egan in a band that by 1983 was called Elements. He has worked in many other settings since then, including with John McLaughlin in the short-lived later version of the Mahavishnu Orchestra (1984) and Al DiMeola (1985). Gottlieb now plays on a part-time basis with Elements.
